Arch was dreadful early in the year, and he\u2019s gotten better in the last couple of weeks.

Manning entered the 2025 season surrounded by Heisman buzz and first-overall pick projections, but he also spent two years on the bench. Klatt said experience, not hype, is what will make the difference for Manning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing that matters is number of games started,\u201d Klatt said. \u201cYou can\u2019t replicate it. It\u2019s the one thing that teaches a quarterback everything he needs to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through recent weeks, Manning\u2019s improvement has been evident, guiding Texas back into the playoff picture while posting efficient numbers in Steve Sarkisian\u2019s offense. He gained confidence throughout the four-game winning streak and hopes to maintain it after the bye week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Klatt says the Longhorns\u2019 young star is better served \u201ccooking a little longer\u201d before taking his next big step to follow in both of his uncle&#8217;s footsteps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Texas will face No. 5 Georgia on Nov. 15 (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More college football news:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joel Klatt believes patience is still the best play for Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning.
