Colt McCoy Explains What Comes With The Sky High Expectations For Arch Manning At Texas

On today's Pardon My Take... COLT McCOY! The Texas football legend and current free agent QB joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter to discuss his career in the NFL, Texas being back, being a backup quarterback, and more.

Aside from being in the College Football Playoff right now, one of the biggest storylines surrounding the Texas football program involves someone who hasn't seen much playing time so far this season: freshman QB Arch Manning. It is no secret that his last name carries a ton of weight, but how can Manning control the expectations set for him in Austin? 

Colt McCoy says that Manning's introduction to the Longhorn football program actually reminds him of one of his teammates back in the day: former QB Garrett Gilbert. Here is what McCoy had to say regarding that on today's show...

As the nephew of Peyton and Eli, it goes without saying why everyone is expecting Arch Manning to ball out once he gets some consistent playing time. And as Colt McCoy mentioned in the clip above, the moment things begin to turn south, the vibes can flip quickly.

Now, as they say: winning heals everything. So when Arch gets his shot (next year in the SEC?), the wins will be expected. And based off what McCoy said, Arch will be more than prepared to take advantage of it.
