Analyst Josh Pate says Texas Longhorns cannot win national title with quarterback Arch Manning

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns face the Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Rivalry on Saturday at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Texas is undefeated, but quarterback Arch Manning has faced criticism for inconsistent play. Analyst Josh Pate said on Thursday that Texas cannot win a national championship with Manning. Oklahoma, at 2-2, has struggled offensively, with quarterback John Mateer committing six turnovers. The Sooners have not scored a touchdown against Texas since 2023. The game is expected to be a defensive battle.
