Former South Carolina and Florida head coach Steve Spurrier—a former Heisman Trophy winner himself—recently shared his interpretation of some of the existing problems for Texas Longhorns football. Spurrier’s comments come after Texas fell to the reigning national champions, Ohio State, in a Week 1 Columbus matchup.
“I don’t like their game plan,” Spurrier said during an appearance on the Another Dooley Noted Podcast, according to On3. “And I don’t really like how they do it. When I coach, everybody
knows I coach the quarterback and call the plays. So in between, I go there and sit on the bench with him if something happened. ‘Look at this, look at that.’ So, I talk to him during the game.”
Spurrier continued, “Arch, I don’t think anybody was talking with him. He goes and sits with his teammates over there. Put a headset on, talk to the guy up top or somebody. But there was no communication, no ‘Come on now, you’re going to be alright.’ They just sort of left him out there and it didn’t work out very well for their offense.”
It’s hardly the first time Spurrier has laid into the hype around Texas quarterback Arch Manning.
