Despite the Texas Longhorns 27-10 win over the UTEP Miners, fans were worried about the No. 7 ranked Longhorns and Arch Manning after the team's struggles on Saturday at home.

Critics of quarterback Arch Manning are even louder on Saturday after his performance in the Texas Longhorns' win over UTEP.

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning had some notable lowlights in the first half against the UTEP Miners.

Those boos starting raining down from the stands at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in the midst of a shockingly inept offensive performance by Sarkisian’s Longhorns and redshirt freshman quarterback Arch Manning.

Despite leading 7-3 late in the second quarter, an errant pass by Manning drew the boo birds at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium. As aggressive as that sounds when the home team has the lead, Longhorns fans weren't happy with Manning's incompletions. He went five-for-16 in the first half for 69 yards and a pick.

Texas was nearly a six-touchdown favorite over UTEP, but the two teams almost looked evenly matched throughout much of the game. That is largely because Manning and the Longhorns offense could not get a rhythm going, particularly in the first half.

The Athletic reviewed the TV copy of each of Manning's 155 career pass attempts at Texas to get to the bottom of "Grimace-gate."

However, through one half on Saturday, Manning is back to looking inconsistent against UTEP. One of the bigger names in college football media, Danny Kanell, took notice of his play: Arch Manning is not making great decisions. He's not seeing the field. And his mechanics don't look great. To put it bluntly it was an awful half vs UTEP

Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre isn't concerned about Arch Manning's long-term potential amid the phenom quarterback's early struggles with Texas this season.
