A&M fans laughing as Steve Spurrier fires off opinion that has Longhorns quaking

Texas A&M football fans have the chance for a great season ahead of them, but their rivals down the street have been spouting off about 2025 ever since 2024 ended. Despite the fact that the Longhorns looked noncompetitive in their biggest games and are losing a ton at some very important positions, they are apparently under the impression that they are now national title contenders.

This notion has much to do with the fact that they are going to be starting Arch Manning at quarterback instead of Quinn Ewers. Ewers ended his career panned by Texas fans as one of the main reasons they were losing games, so Manning's advent is something that they are counting on as a huge step forward.

This is despite the fact that both players were ranked exactly the same coming out of high school and Manning was on campus all of last year, yet never made it onto the field for any significant amount of time. He was used in packages and played some in relief for Ewers, but did not look any better at all.

This fact may escape Texas fans, but it does not do so for the general public. Steve Spurrier, who has been known to fire off some inconvenient truths from time to time, sounded off on this unwarranted hype.

Steve Spurrier embarrasses Texas fans' flawed Arch Manning logic

Spurrier didn't hold back when discussing Texas's quarterback situation this year:

This should worry Longhorn fans way more than it apparently does. The lack of returning receiver yardage, DB experience, DL snaps, and seniority along the OL all spells trouble, especially when you're facing off with Ohio State in the first game.

But apparently, because a guy with a famous last name who played at a 2A high school, who couldn't outplay a seventh-rounder last year, will be starting at QB, they'll be fine.

We'll just have to see how that logic works out for them this year. I have a feeling it won't go the way they want it to.
