Arch Manning scored two touchdowns against Sam Houston, including a show-stopping run with 45 seconds left in the first quarter. As he stood over the defender, he stared down the linebacker and drew applause from the crowd. However, not everyone was impressed – Manning’s mom was “pretty mad” about his behavior.
Despite receiving some criticism for taunting, Manning said it was just a release of built-up frustration. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian, who has dealt with similar situations in the past, believes that Manning’s emotions fuel his performance on the field.
The Texas quarterback threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for two more. After struggling against UTEP last week, Sarkisian says Manning is at his best when his emotions come out. The team’s social media account even joked about Manning’s “swagger,” but some fans might think he went too far.
Manning’s performance capped off a dominant 55-0 win over Sam Houston. With his confidence growing after each game, it will be interesting to see how the young quarterback responds in the coming weeks.
