Steve Sarkisian Sticks With Arch Manning At QB Despite Texas’ Two-Game Slide

Arch Manning remains Texas’ starting QB despite recent struggles and costly fourth-quarter turnovers — coach Steve Sarkisian says he expects a better version this week.
The Longhorns fell from No. 1 after consecutive losses and are 4-2; they host No. 7 Mississippi on Saturday and are still in the SEC race.
Sarkisian praises Manning’s attitude (“he’s got a chip on his shoulder”) and won’t yet turn to inexperienced backup KJ Lacey, even as the offense and play-calling draw criticism.
