Steve Sarkisian Says Arch Manning Is Receiving Criticism for 1 Big Reason
Texas quarterback Arch Manning is under scrutiny for his performance in the loss to Oklahoma on Saturday.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Arch Manning’s uneven play at Texas and the criticism around it. Fox News frames Steve Sarkisian’s “Joe Smith” argument as “absolute nonsense for an average QB” and explicitly questions whether a lesser-known quarterback would already have been benched, while Newsweek says Sarkisian says Manning is drawing criticism for one big reason and, in the extract, points to scrutiny after the Oklahoma loss.
