Texas football prepares for new era as Arch Manning steps in after Cotton Bowl loss

Texas football faces a transition after their 28-14 loss to Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl. The team, which has seen success in recent years, will likely shift to Arch Manning as their starting quarterback, moving on from Quinn Ewers. Manning's dynamic play is expected to help Texas improve, especially as they may lose key offensive linemen to the NFL draft. The Longhorns will also need to address defensive gaps after losing star defensive backs, but they have promising talent returning. With a strong recruiting class and a manageable schedule, Texas aims to build on its recent success. The team hopes Manning can lead them to their first national championship since 2005.
