Arch Manning Left Ohio Stadium in Tears

from Menace2Sports with Zach Smith Hosted by Zach Smith

It was one of the most brutal debuts in college football history — and Ohio State was the reason for it. In this episode, we revisit Arch Manning's emotional exit from Ohio Stadium last season, where he walked off in tears after a 14-7 loss that saw his NIL valuation drop nearly $500,000 overnight. We break down what went wrong in his first start as Texas' QB1, the fallout that followed, and what it all means heading into the 2026 rematch, when Ohio State travels to Austin in Week 2. Can Arch Manning finally get his revenge? Topics covered: Arch Manning, Ohio State vs Texas, Ryan Day, Texas Longhorns, Julian Sayin, College Football Playoff, Big Ten football, Buckeyes 2026 season.
