Texas quarterback Arch Manning had a simple message and a promise: There will be better days ahead from him.
"I know the type of player that I am," Manning said Monday as he answered another round of questions about a poor outing in last week's win over UTEP. "I know I'm going to play better and we're going to be better as an offense."
This week's matchup with Sam Houston, a program in only its third season of FCS-level competition, would typically be an afterthought for the No. 8 team in the country.
