Florida upsets No. 7 Texas as Arch Manning struggles

sportsOct 17, 202620354

Florida rallied to beat No. 7 Texas 27-24 in Austin, with backup quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. throwing for 155 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 41 yards in his first start. The Gators scored a 24-point run to erase a 17-3 deficit, holding Arch Manning to 173 passing yards, sacking him five times and forcing a strip-sack fumble that sealed the upset. Florida played shorthanded, with injuries sidelining running back Noah Clark and concerns around starters Aaron Philo, Vernell Brown III and Bailey Stockton, and Texas lost safety Colin Simmons to an injury during the game. The victory is Florida's second top-10 win of the season and the program's second win over Texas in two seasons, extending Jon Sumrall's roller-coaster first year in Gainesville. Sumrall said the team grew through adversity after a poor first quarter, noting they kept fighting when things got tough.

hitting the horns down exactly 2.3 seconds after sacking arch manning was diabolical work

They told me that Arch Manning could be the next Jets franchise QB and I'd have to say it's hard to argue with that evaluation

you can, and should, listen to our pregame where I definitely predicted Florida would upset Texas, and also said that you can't have "hear me outs" if you're not attractive enough to be picky channel-6.ghost.io/channel-6-ci...

As we've noted the last few weeks: Arch Manning is completely stuck. He's not improving. He's lost confidence. Sarkisian's play-calling has become a problem. I'd feel safeish saying Arch plays in college again next year.

you now fear this might could turn into a LaNorris Sellers situation where all parties are just comfortable lying to each other about their fit

He will be a Hurricane or a Hoosier next year.

Arch Manning makes mistakes a Senior who’s been in the program 4 years shouldn’t be making.

In his defense…he has three quarterback coaches, plus two uncles that are hall of famers. He’s been very under resourced.

If his last name wasn't Manning he wouldn't be close to being drafted by anybody

The signs were there when he couldn’t beat out Quinn Ewers.

It's important to have a healthy relationship to hating in sports so that when something bad happens to your team you can look around and see that Arch Manning is still bad and feel much better

The most confounding CFB team in America ™️: Your 2026 Florida Gators! A banged up Gator team goes on the road to upset Texas with a backup QB, as Jon Sumrall’s roller coaster of a season rolls on. Also 1st time since 2012 Gators have had two top 10 victories: www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-foot...

Mad respect to Arch Manning for honoring his uncle Peyton’s fine family tradition of being unable to find a way to get a “W” against the Gators

Basketball Fan, of the Sixers and LeBron James lmao!

@drewhamm5.bsky.social

I hope Arch Manning is able to find an AI video this week of him being a decent QB and leading his team to a win at home against unranked Florida. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Inexcusable loss. Someone ruined Arch Manning and I will never forgive them.

Ball game Gators. Does anybody at this point think that anyone would still be talking about Arch Manning as the potential top pick in the draft if his last name was different? Jesse Palmer has been ripping his play the entire second half.

In retrospect, “lookit this AI video I just saw” should’ve been a big tipoff about Arch Manning’s decision-making skills.
