""I thought today was a byproduct of the week of work. He played aggressive throughout the week. He studied the game plan. He knew exactly what we were trying to do, and I thought today he played more of his style," Sarkisian said. "He extended plays, used his legs, scrambles for a touchdown. That's the style of player that he is.""
"On several plays, Manning rolled out and found receivers. He had a few drops, with Sarkisian saying Texas "didn't catch the ball great for him." But he was pleased he was able to make plays happen when things broke down. "Him playing his game and not trying to play at somebody else's style of game, I think is important for him," Sarkisian said."
"Manning also threw a bad interception where he was under pressure and heaved the ball into double coverage from the Spartans' 14-yard line. And on a couple of other throws, San Jose State defenders had a shot at picking him off but couldn't haul it in. "A lot to work on," Manning said. "I thought it was sloppy for my part. Can't turn the ball over in the red area. I've got to play better. I think all around it was a little sloppy.""
Arch Manning completed 19 of 30 passes for 295 yards and matched a career high with four touchdown passes in Texas' 38-7 win over San Jose State. He added a 20-yard touchdown scramble down the left sideline late in the third quarter. Coach Steve Sarkisian said Manning played more of his style, extending plays with his legs and rolling out to find receivers. Manning threw a late red-zone interception under pressure and acknowledged sloppy play and the need to avoid turnovers in the red area. He started slowly, going 3 of 6 for 11 yards on his first two drives.
