Related Topics: Arch Manning, Steve Sarkisian

ARCH MANNING HAS been taunted and has clapped back. The Texas quarterback has been booed by road and home fans alike, and has also brought snippets of joy to those wearing Burnt Orange, but not enough for his or their liking.

Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian has noted the "out of control" expectations placed upon the third-year player, and last month responded to a question about Manning grimacing after a throw by speculating about the bathroom faces of reporters. The whole Arch thing has been intense, exhausting and, at times, weird.

And we're only five games into this season.
