The No. 1 Texas Longhorns are 4-0 and rolling. In the latest edition of football on the 40 Acres, redshirt freshman quarterback Arch Manning made his heralded debut as a starter and with the help of running back Jaydon Blue and a ferocious defensive performance, Manning was able to secure his first career victory in a 51-3 win over the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks.
As expected, there were hiccups and bad decisions mixed in with his brilliant arm talent and athleticism. A particular point of emphasis for Manning and the entire offense is performing when things matter.
In this week’s edition of Crunch Time, we’ll analyze how Texas performed on third downs and in the red zone, two key areas for offensive success.
