After the Texas football team's brutal loss to the Florida Gators on Saturday afternoon, 27-24, all eyes are on star quarterback Arch Manning after another disappointing outing. While Manning's performance with the Texas football team in the Gators' loss is a tough pill to swallow, head coach Steve Sarkisian would give his thoughts on the possibility of the quarterback being benched.
Speaking to the media after the loss, Sarkisian was asked if there was ever a thought of benching Manning during the game to get the offense going, which led to the coach talking about future planning. Sarkisian would make sure to mention that “everything is going to be evaluated.”
“I just felt like we didn't play good offensive football, and we're not playing great offensive football right now. So everything is going to be evaluated,” Sarkisian said.
