Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning had a solid first start of his collegiate career, but Eli Manning was quick to give himself a pat on the back.
Arch Manning may have put on a show for the Texas Longhorns in his first collegiate start at quarterback over the weekend, but his uncle got the last laugh on Monday. The redshirt freshman led the team to a 51-3 victory over Louisiana Monroe. Manning had 258 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and two interceptions in the win. He called it a 'C-plus' performance despite the shellacking.
To think he was going to come out and play a perfect game, I don't think anybody in here thought that,' Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian said, via ESPN. 'I thought he was going to prepare really well, work really hard, do everything he could to play good football. He was going to have some lessons learned, and I think that's what tonight was about.
