@BleacherReport Please bench Arch Manning. He needs to take the rest of the year off to get his confidence back and let the rest of the team have a chance to win. He has lost all of his confidence.

The Gators had taken an early lead against Steve Sarkisian's team after Jadan Baught scored a five-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter. Trey Smack's 34-yard field goal further extended their lead.

However, the Longhorns found themselves on the scoreboard after Arch Manning found Quintrevion Wisner with a six-yard passing touchdown. The Gators scored two more times before securing a 19-7 lead at halftime.

Trey Smack's field goal added three more points in the third quarter. However, Arch's 38-yard passing touchdown to Ryan Wingo minimised the deficit to 22-14.

DJ Lagway then scored a passing touchdown of his own to give the Gators a 15-point lead. Quintrevion Wisner scored a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to help the Longhorns make a comeback.

Hollywood actor Glen Powell shares his honest thoughts on Arch Manning

Despite a questionable start to the season, Hollywood actor Glen Powell remains confident in Arch Manning's talent. During an appearance on NFL Live, he defended the quarterback's lackluster performance by talking about how their season opener against Ohio State was a tough game.

He also made a bold prediction about how Arch could lead the team to a natty and put up a dynasty run under Steve Sarkisian.

"His first start at The Shoe Ohio State, a hell of a program- that's a tough way to come into that position," Powell said. "I get to spend a lot of time in Austin. I'm very familiar with the program. Arch has the capability to bring Texas to a natty."

"Mark my words, by the way. If Texas wins a natty this year, I think we're going to go on a dynasty run. Austin in the greatest city in the world, one of the most prestigious teams. Nobody looks bad in burnt orange."

The Longhorns will next face the Oklahoma Sooners at Cotton Bowl Stadium on Oct. 11. The game will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN3 at 3:30 pm ET.
