Texas quarterback Arch Manning had a bad start to his season against Ohio State in Week 1. While many fans and analysts expressed concern, there was confidence that he would bounce back in Week 2 against San Jose State. However, early in the game, Manning showed some of the issues that plagued him in Week 1. Notably, he nearly threw an interception early in the first quarter.
As a result, many fans started to post memes and jokes about Manning as the early stages of the Texas vs. San Jose State matchup played out. One posted a meme about Manning “not being all that.”
