Arch Manning is leading an average Texas offense. Here are 2 Longhorns who could help

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning demonstrated exceptional control and precision during his team's 20-17 victory over Tennessee, setting up a high-powered scoring drive with three accurate passes for 56 yards. Head coach Steve Sarkisian was impressed by the early offensive performance, stating it was a big win for Texas in establishing dominance on the field.

However, the offense struggled in the subsequent nine possessions, committing six three-and-outs, a turnover, and five penalties, ultimately failing to sustain their offensive momentum. In addressing the team's offensive issues, Sarkisian emphasized the need for collective responsibility and improved execution. Wide receiver Cam Coleman, who joined Texas as a highly sought-after portal recruit, has yet to consistently make an impact on the passing game.

The team's wide receiver corps, which also includes Ryan Wingo, Emmett Mosley V, and Jermaine Bishop Jr., will need to provide better opportunities for Coleman to maximize his potential.
