ARCH MANNING was booed by his own fans during one of his worst performances.
The quarterback is the third generation of famous Manning stars in football.

But he still has some way to go to follow in the NFL footsteps of his family members, including uncles Peyton and Eli plus grandad Archie.
That is because Manning, 21, endured a horror game in college football on Saturday.
And it was so bad his Texas Longhorns supporters jeered him.
Manning threw ten straight incompletions in the first half against the UTEP Miners.
He also completed just five of 16 passes for 69 yards and an interception.
Even four carries for 18 yards and a touchdown before the break could not appease the Longhorns faithful.
Social media clips showed the crowd booing Manning after his errors and when he headed off the field at half-time.
Texas did see out a 27-10 victory in the Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium – their second win of the new season.
But plenty of the attention remained on underwhelming Manning.
One football fan wrote: “Arch went from being a generational talent to getting booed off the field against UTEP in Week 3 man.”
Another said: “Arch Manning not being able to make standard throws like this is why Texas is in trouble.”
A third added: “Texas fans boo’d Arch Manning off the field after the first half. Typical entitled behavior from the Longhorns”
And a fourth commented: “Not a great half from Arch Manning. He heard boo birds at DKR. But he did score both Texas TDs. Kid’s still learning on the job. Those Heisman talks can stop now. Just let him grow and learn.”
But coach Steve Sarkisian: “I told Arch before the season, you’ve never really been a QB until they boo you.
“He got booed in the first half, now he can start playing.”
Manning finished the game with 11 of 25 passes completed for 114 yards plus two rushing touchdowns for 51 yards.
And the Louisiana youngster was certainly outshone by his opposing quarterback Malachi Nelson.
Nelson managed 24 of 36 passes for 209 yards and two interceptions.
The UTEP struggles came after Manning’s nightmare against Ohio State in Week 1 – although he enjoyed more success against the San Jose State Spartans last week.
