Texas quarterback Arch Manning is taking it over the head from fans and talking heads alike after his turnovers played a role in Oklahoma’s eventual walk-off win with a field goal in Dallas over the weekend.

One of the talking heads is former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III.

“… Arch Manning needs to come back for another year of college football. Just needs more experience,” Griffin wrote on social media, presumably after witnessing Manning throw two interceptions versus OU, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

Manning is a fourth-year player and returning starter with one season of eligibility remaining, if he does elect to return to Texas for a fifth season.
