​National championship-winning former head coach Urban Meyer has seemingly regained his footing as a talking head in the college football world. Most recently, Meyer opened up on his thoughts about the criticism surrounding Texas quarterback Arch Manning since the program dropped a season opener to Ohio State last year.“”I think the common denominator of every great quarterback is a great group of players around him. And I remember talking to Sark about this, you know, everybody’s all over Arch Manning and I get it, you’re a quarterback and you had that last name, get used to it, pal. That’s going to be the rest of your life. However, when players aren’t open, that’s not the quarterback’s fault. And the receivers against Ohio State really struggled. They’re very talented. They didn’t play great in that game. Yeah. Every quarterback that has a great year, he is surrounded by dudes,“ Meyer said.WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT THE LONGHORNS Dallas Morning News: Bohls: College Football’s Greatest Teams: Where do the 2005 Longhorns rank?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement247Sports: Crunching the numbers on Texas football’s wide receivers: Three under-the-radar statistics to watch in 2026Inside Texas: Melvin Siani dominated in Wake Forest’s rushing attack.
