Sarkisian Will Tailor Play-Calling To Arch Manning as Texas Locks Him In as Starter

The coach wants Manning to say which plays he trusts so the staff can boost his accuracy and confidence before the Sept. 5 opener.

Overview

Steve Sarkisian said Monday he has told Arch Manning to tell coaches what he likes and does not like so the offense can call plays Manning believes in.
Sarkisian voiced clear confidence in Manning’s readiness to start his second season while emphasizing the need to improve Manning’s completion rate.
Manning has made improving accuracy a top camp focus and has said his goal is to get receivers the ball and keep it away from the defense.
Texas added transfers including Cam Coleman plus portal backs Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown and coaches report those new pieces are integrating well in camp.
Offensive linemen Trevor Goosby and Laurence Seymore practiced and looked good, giving Texas more continuity as it heads into a Sept. 5 opener that will set early expectations for Manning and the revamped roster.
