FANS are demanding that the Texas Longhorns bench Arch Manning after he suffers another disastrous performance.
The Longhorns suffered a 29-21 defeat on Saturday to the Florida Gators, their second of the year so far.

Manning is catching the majority of the blame from fans for Texas’s struggles so far.
During their weekend loss, he was criticised heavily, especially after the final play of the game.
The QB was sacked in the final seconds of the match and then, with the clock ticking down, attempted to spike the football.
But there was no time left on the clock, and the Longhorns fell to 3-2.
Fans took to social media to demand Manning be benched after the mistake.
One person said, “This was what I said nearly a month ago and it stands now, Texas has zero chance to win meaningful football games with Arch Manning right now.
“He should be benched. Looked lost and confused on that final drive.”
Another commented, “An investigation needs to be created on how the national media tricked us into thinking Arch Manning was gonna be the next great quarterback.”
A third wrote, “Arch Manning is the football version of Bronny James.”
Not all fans have lost their patience with Manning, however.
One person remarked, “Arch will be fine. He might even still be able to make a Heisman finalist.
“We had one bad game. He has the best deep ball in the game. They need more of that.”
Another stated, “Wow, a lot of Arch hate from fans for two seasons. Sheesh. Haters gonna hate.”
Manning threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns in the game, including an impressive 38-yard pass to Ryan Wingo.
But he also threw two interceptions, alongside his major mistake at the end of the game.
This isn’t the first time Manning has faced a lot of criticism.
In the Longhorns’ opening game against Ohio State, Manning received a harsh review as his side lost 14-7.
Texas then went on to win three games in a row following that, but were the favourites in each of those matches.
The 21-year-old is now in his third year at college, but will have to develop quickly.
The Longhorns face 5th 5th-ranked Oklahoma next weekend in what could define Manning’s career.
