Arch Manning’s second career start showed progress in poise, efficiency, and command of the offense, but it wasn’t a flawless outing. Against a San Jose State team that didn’t match Ohio State’s talent level, Manning had the opportunity to clean up mistakes, sharpen mechanics, and show comfort in Steve Sarkisian’s system.
Here is his quarterback report card for week 2:
Stat Line
19/30, 295, 4 TD, 1 INT
4 Carries, 23 yards, 1 TD, 5.8 ypc
The Good
Mobility: Manning was very decisive about whether he would scramble or stay in the pocket most of the time.
