Archie Manning’s hard-hitting confession about Archie’s struggles
It’s been a rollercoaster season for Arch Manning and the No. 13 Texas Longhorns, as the team is still fighting for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Critics have been vocal for Manning as he tries to find his way as the Longhorns’ starting quarterback. His grandfather, Archie Manning, recently spoke about the 2025-26 campaign.
During an appearance on “Up and Adams,” with former NFL quarterback Kay Adams admitted how difficult it was for him and the family to watch Manning wrestle in Texas. However, Archie also admits he believes his grandson has experienced struggles on the offensive line periodically throughout the season, which doesn’t help.
“I haven’t been to just one game. So I’m at home, and it’s tough,” Archie Manning said. “It’s really tough. We work so hard for him, and they’ve had problems protecting this year and they’ve struggled in a few games. We’re proud of him and he’s done everything very well.”

Arch Manning’s grandfather also claims that he too is just nervous, not at all. He said Eli Manning’s early career with the New York Giants kept him pacing while attending games. So these feelings may not be that new for Archie, as he apparently felt the same way seeing Ellie in New York, to say the least.
Despite the struggles this year, Texas is still 7-2 on the season and seemingly fighting for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Arch Manning could also be getting into his groove at the perfect time, as he finished Week 10’s 34-31 win over the Vanderbilt Commodores with 328 passing yards and three touchdowns while completing 75.7% of his pass attempts.
Manning and the Longhorns split in Week 11. However, they will be back in Week 12 with an incredibly tough matchup against the no. 5 Georgia Bulldogs. A win potentially catapults Texas back into the mix, while a loss could very well end any playoff hopes for the program.
