With Texas football quarterback Arch Manning and the team preparing for Ohio State on Saturday night in a big-time matchup, the hope is not to replicate the deficiencies from last year's game between the two, where the Longhorns lost, 14-7. As it was a rough first matchup for Manning and the Texas football program, head coach Steve Sarkisian would set the record straight on a narrative coming out of the game.
In the opening contest last season, the Longhorns would be bested by the Buckeyes in every aspect of the game, mostly on the offensive side of the ball, holding Manning to 170 yards and one touchdown. However, Sarkisian would make sure to remind people that they rushed "really well," recording 166 yards on the ground then, rather than the "egg" some people might've thought.
"I felt like last year, unbeknownst to probably more of the national media, we ran the ball really well, I think people think we just went out there and laid an egg and had minus ten yards rushing or something," Sarkisian said Monday, via 247 Sports.
