According to a recent CBS Sports article, Arch Manning has been rising up the list of top collegiate quarterbacks in 2025 over the past few weeks. He was absolutely dominant for Texas against both Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, showing a newfound confidence and moxie as a passer.
Steve Sarkisian has been making things easier for Manning and the passing offense recently by using an unusually high amount of pre-snap motion. This does a number of things for the quarterback, but the main advantage is that it helps diagnose the defensive coverage before the snap.
