Tim Tebow is quite confident in Arch Manning leading Texas on a run in 2025. It all starts Saturday when the Longhorns visit the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes.
Manning had a lot of expectations placed on his shoulders going back to when he committed to Texas. The No. 1 overall prospect in his class, there were calls for Manning to go in for Quinn Ewers last year!
But, Manning and head coach Steve Sarkisian remained patient and prepared for this moment. Now ready to go in Year 3, the keys are in Manning’s hands and Tebow is confident in his ability to drive the bus.
“I think it’s his versatility,” Tebow said on SportsCenter. “When you really look at him, and you look at his different traits, he can do everything. He’s extremely accurate from the pocket, he’s got a quick release, he can throw the ball down the field, he can make throws to the outside, he also has great acceleration, he’s a tough runner (and) he’s handled a lot of pressure. This is someone that, if you said, ‘Why do you have confidence?’ It’s because the majority of his life, since he put on a helmet, he has handled pressure, and so so many people are like, ‘Well, how is he going to do this year?’ It’s not new for him. Yes, it’s at a different level, but he’s had to do it for a long time.
Tim Tebow a big believer in Arch Manning in 2025
“Also (Arch has had to) do it at extreme levels, since he walked on campus, and he’s done it with humility, he’s done it with kindness, and he’s also done it with confidence, and that’s what gives me a lot of confidence, that I think he can handle this moment, because he’s been preparing for it since he first put on a helmet.”
Manning threw 90 pass attempts last season, completing 67.8% of them. He nearly hit the century mark in yards, having 939 alongside nine touchdowns and two interceptions. Texas strategically used Manning’s legs at times too, for 108 yards and four scores.
At the same time, most of the action came against UTSA and Louisiana-Monroe. Texas fans point out a start did take place against Mississippi State but others will point out how poorly the Bulldogs were last season.
Unfortunately, due to the schedule, there will be no time for Manning to breathe. It’s a showdown between the No. 1 and No. 3 teams in the preseason poll. Not too long ago, Texas and Ohio State were facing off in the College Football Playoff semifinals. With kickoff at noon ET, almost every eye in the college football world will be on the FOX broadcast.
From there, you have to imagine extremes will take place. Manning either explodes even further in the hype machine or maybe it all comes crashing back to reality.
