[u/Bradberry_Held_JuJu]

“Arch said he wants to be right back in that exact situation. A game on the line like it was a week ago.”

*Proceeds to have an inexplicable turnover just like he did a week ago*

This is actually a fucking comedy at this point.

[u/StrawberryTiiger → u/Bradberry_Held_JuJu]

Like kyrie in the playoffs saying that you'll never see him go 8 for 22 from the field ever again only to go 7 of 22 the next game

[u/Geno0wl → u/StrawberryTiiger]

Hue Jackson promising the Browns wouldn't go 1-15 again only for them to go 0-16. Peak comedy.

[u/Sea_Spend_8008 → u/Bradberry_Held_JuJu]

This is all scripted or God is a humorist or we are in the Matrix. You make the call.

[u/Horror_Response_1991 → u/Bradberry_Held_JuJu]

Arch: “I would prefer to avoid this situation going forward”

[u/corundum9]

Losing to Florida at home after leading 17-3 with Arch giving up another late game, back-breaking turnover is going to have the country clubs fuming!

[u/jc-f → u/corundum9]

Ok Arch, you can’t throw a 4th quarter INT this game 

“Say no more!” fumbles

[u/Scruffasaurus → u/jc-f]

Not Arch’s fault. The moment is too small. Fucking waste of his talent against these unranked schools. You want someone to beat Florida, give me some nameless fuck like Missouri has. I’ll see y’all fuckers the first five minutes of the draft.

[u/StanderdStaples → u/corundum9]

I’m no Arch defender, but #74 needs to get absolutely obliterated in the locker room

Completely gave up on the play and had a shot at the fumble recovery and did NOTHING

[u/Zyoj → u/StanderdStaples]

Dude also caused it just standing around doing nothing. Then tried to half ass pick it up to lose it to a man that weighed probably 75lbs less than him

[u/DickHz2 → u/StanderdStaples]

"That's not in my job description" -that guy, probably

[u/RealPutin → u/DickHz2]

Recovering fumbles requires another $200k of NIL money

[u/Luigis_vacuum]

Texas may have won if they gave as much effort as they did during victory formation

[u/White-Coat → u/Luigis_vacuum]

Yeah that was some bullshit

[u/The-Young-Lion → u/White-Coat]

Agreed.

[u/gmr548 → u/Luigis_vacuum]

I said it in the game thread but it absolutely reeks of bitchassedness. I understand why the defense would be frustrated but that’s embarrassing and unacceptable.

And that sort of issue is 100% reflective of leadership from the top.

[u/AnyEditor4986]

Florida is the true wildcard of the SEC

[u/The12Ball → u/AnyEditor4986]

It's simple, if opponent was in the SEC East, we lose. If not, we win

[u/TroGojans]

Fun Fact: Texas and Texas A&M are now tied for SEC wins

[u/DarthNobody14 → u/TroGojans]

“You’re just like me! Trash!”

[u/LouSputhole94 → u/TroGojans]

Lol. Lmao, even.

[u/Mundane_Pirate1 → u/TroGojans]

As an Aggie, this is solidly humorous for the remainder of this week.

[u/Impossible-Bison8055 → u/TroGojans]

That is so weird to think about. Our season’s hopes are at best a bowl game.

[u/PolloMagnifico → u/TroGojans]

That IS a fun fact!

[u/SuperSchott]

Never estimate Florida. We are somehow both better and worse than what everyone thinks at any moment in time

[u/cantevendoitbruh → u/SuperSchott]

Florida is simultaneously a top 10 and bottom 30 team.

[u/Careful-Whereas1888 → u/cantevendoitbruh]

Schrödinger's Gator

[u/drbiscuit832 → u/SuperSchott]

Legitimately have no idea what to think of you, but I am scared to play you

[u/SimCFB → u/drbiscuit832]

If you get the good Florida it's lights out.

If you get the bad Florida its uhhh lights in?

[u/Don_Gato1 → u/SimCFB]

I believe the industry terminology is “lights on”

[u/LoCh0_xX]

how did Ohio State let these bums pull a 20 point 4Q comeback

[u/FailstoFail → u/LoCh0_xX]

Sayin missed routine throws that would have led to game ending drives

[u/A_thaddeus_crane → u/FailstoFail]

No he meant in the Texas game

[u/TorCoolguyNSFW → u/A_thaddeus_crane]

underrated joke

[u/Fathoms_Deep_1 → u/LoCh0_xX]

Sayin is bad

[u/ShariaLabeouf01 → u/Fathoms_Deep_1]

Backup looks worse

[u/ChillnShill → u/LoCh0_xX]

Day didn’t take a field goal on one play and that’s why they lost. Texas should have 3 losses right now

[u/SamPCarter → u/ChillnShill]

If Tennessee had even a pulse of an offense, Texas would have lost that one too.

[u/rocky2894]

Only the new 24 team format can save Texas playoff hopes

[u/Xynthion → u/rocky2894]

ESPN still gives them a 48% chance to make playoffs. Like…what even. After two losses to unranked teams?

[u/Roberto_Sacamano → u/Xynthion]

The glasses industry must have something to do with this

[u/LightningDusty]

That's Arch Manning football, baby.

[u/RagePoop → u/LightningDusty]

Never bet on a Manning against the Florida Gators. Simple as.

[u/Cant_Win]

Texas has a 27-24 problem.

[u/masons21 → u/Cant_Win]

It's a beautiful score.

[u/The-Fanciest]

We are the worst team with two Top 10 wins you'll see

[u/ninjapanda042 → u/The-Fanciest]

But they have seen us

[u/texas2089]

That 4th quarter against Ohio State did so much heavy lifting. Really gaslit everyone into thinking this was actually a good football team.

[u/emoney_gotnomoney → u/texas2089]

Obviously we’re ass too, I get that. With that being said, outside of that one quarter against Ohio State, the Texas offense has looked incredibly anemic all season long, even against the UTSA’s of the world.

Again, not trying to engage in trash talk or anything since our season is in the gutter and I have no room to talk myself, but I really don’t understand the constant “Sark offensive genius” talk by the media when time and time again it seems like the defense is what’s carrying his team, even back in the Quinn Ewers days.

[u/A_Rolling_Baneling → u/emoney_gotnomoney]

Sark is a great recruiter and a good developer of offensive talent outside of QB. He's a bad playcaller and a bad QB coach. He's been like that since Washington.

[u/ewgrooss → u/texas2089]

Such a weird data point. Texas has the potential, but can’t play with any sort of consistency. Reminds me of my golf game, I’ll snipe a birdie, but my average is still a triple bogey.

[u/Prior_Bad192]

Incoming Florida ranked 10th , Texas ranked 11th next week

[u/SubMikeD → u/Prior_Bad192]

I hope not. We've played better unranked. KEEP FLORIDA UNRANKED, YOU COWARDS!

[u/HeckOnWheels195 → u/SubMikeD]

This is because Gators are ambush predators,

[u/Metzgy → u/HeckOnWheels195]

My guy spittin facts over here

[u/nattylife → u/HeckOnWheels195]

ill fucking take this

[u/WhiskeyTangoBush → u/Prior_Bad192]

I don’t want to see us ranked ever again.

[u/prollyanalien → u/Prior_Bad192]

Well of course, Texas had a quality loss to a team that beat Texas.

[u/CommodoreN7]

For the good of all college football, Texas should extend Sark and lock down a mother year of Arch at QB. They contribute so much to the wellbeing of the sport for everyone who hates Texas.

[u/Winter_Win_5531 → u/CommodoreN7]

Two weeks ago, couldn’t open a post without Texas fans spamming “extend Venables” now its extend Sark memes.

Life comes at you fast.

[u/Thorteris → u/CommodoreN7]

I’d donate, provides some of the greatest hate watches of all time.

[u/vannawhite_power → u/CommodoreN7]

You mean everyone? Including most Tx fans currently.

[u/CodyRCantrell → u/CommodoreN7]

If Arch wants to be a first round pick he might have to play another season at this point.

[u/Horror_Response_1991]

Has anyone considered that Arch is blind without his Warby Parker glasses?

[u/KyonaPrayerCircleMem → u/Horror_Response_1991]

Where are his glasses?! He can’t see without his glasses!!!

[u/Notorious-PIG]

Haters said we were overrated. Honestly, great call by the haters.

[u/kojfefe → u/Notorious-PIG]

Meanwhile If you told me we'd be 5-2 right now I'd say yeah not a surprise with Ole Miss and  UT on our scehdule.

[u/wavyboizzz → u/kojfefe]

Gotta love college football haha

[u/Twall1297]

Holy hell, the SEC circle of suck is going strong this year and we’re only half way through the season so far 😆

[u/the-tank7 → u/Twall1297]

Florida is simultaneously the 3rd worst and 3rd best team in the sec

[u/The12Ball → u/the-tank7]

Can't beat the SEC East, can beat everyone else

[u/RemoteAbalone8687 → u/Twall1297]

Maybe Florida should play every game whilst unranked against a top 10 team.

[u/Knook7 → u/RemoteAbalone8687]

They better not rank us before georgia

[u/MinorInsomniac]

It would be exceptionally funny if Texas made this whole stink about being left out of the playoffs last year bc they lost to ohio state just to beat them this year and still not go

[u/ToddGoldenBurner → u/MinorInsomniac]

Especially if it’s because they lost to Florida, again

[u/www-creedthoughts- → u/ToddGoldenBurner]

We aren't losing just 3 games this year. 4 is a minimum for this dogshit team

[u/Brood12]

Texas Longhorns, YOU have just lost to the future 2026 Gasparilla Bowl Champions.

[u/GRVrush2112]

Arch Manning is easily the most overhyped QB of all time. But somthing still tells me some GM is gonna take him in the first round and two seasons later get fired because of it

[u/boy-detective → u/GRVrush2112]

Remember Finebaum saying last year that he was the greatest talent since our Lord and Savior Tim Tebow himself?

[u/CrawlerCoolie → u/GRVrush2112]

Zero chance he declares after this game. He’s going to transfer to some slack ass Big XII or ACC team to fluff up his numbers and tape.

Congrats on your new QB, WVU or BC or VT

[u/Crombus_ → u/CrawlerCoolie]

He's already on a slack-ass Big 12 team

[u/ilovecatss1010]

This team is an enigma, Texas probably isn’t that good but I’m gonna celebrate this like hell!

ITS GREAT!

[u/The12Ball → u/ilovecatss1010]

TO BE

[u/half-foods → u/The12Ball]

A FLORIDA GATOR!

[u/detroitlonghorn]

Congrats to Florida.

Trammel jones so excited lol he said yes sir instead of yes maam.

Arch fucking sucks.

[u/Rcruzy7 → u/detroitlonghorn]

It’s not all on him Sark needs to manage the game better

[u/BeyondLiesTheWub → u/Rcruzy7]

He needs to manage the game by benching Arch

[u/captainetty → u/Rcruzy7]

It’s pretty on him when sark schemes guys open and he just misses them

[u/Jameis_Crab_Shack]

With UF beating Texas in back-to-back seasons I’m now truly a believer that there’s no way a Manning will ever beat UF.

[u/Joeking1986 → u/Jameis_Crab_Shack]

Eli did. Eli confirmed the greatest manning

[u/Boring_Necessary_179 → u/Joeking1986]

Eli confirmed adopted is more like it

[u/may3rd2021]

Lemme channel my inner Penn State Super Bowl graphic real quick

Florida has looked absolutely DOMINANT in all of their games this year*

*except the ones they lost

[u/StFuzzySlippers]

ESPN has Texas 45% to reach the CFP still? Brother, they have FIVE SIX! SEC games left. They are 1-2 so far. I don't even know if they're 45% to win the next game.

[u/DFWTrojanTuba]

How did this team beat Ohio State?

[u/MC_Squared1015]

If I had a nickel for every time an unranked Florida kept Texas out of the playoffs, I’d have two nickels

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

[u/punchout414 → u/MC_Squared1015]

Florida:" Damn we could really use a win rn."

Texas (x2):"This looks like a job for me."

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/MC_Squared1015]

God damnit this is why the playoffs are expanding isn’t it

[u/bretticus733 → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

The actual payout from the 24 team playoff is a minimal increase. They're expanding so that these P4 schools that are spending obscene amounts of money on their team get a better chance to make the playoff and it's so fucking stupid

[u/Kmjada → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Yeah. Absolutely

[u/DarthNobody14 → u/MC_Squared1015]

Austin has a Gator infestation

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/MC_Squared1015]

You’re welcome.

[u/AlFlame93 → u/MC_Squared1015]

ahem

BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[u/CouldBeWorse2410 → u/AlFlame93]

Amen

[u/Conn3er]

Friday after thanksgiving ABC presents the lone star showdown between Texas and Texas A&M with bowl eligibility for both teams on the line

[u/WhoElseButMe_ → u/Conn3er]

More like gonna be a toilet bowl

[u/Short_Log_7654 → u/Conn3er]

I laughed at this…..then I cried. Then a loooooong exhale with a thousand yard stare out the window.

[u/PowerHour1990]

Texas hadn't seen 24 unanswered like that since Vince Young took the Wonderlic.

[u/CzarCW → u/PowerHour1990]

Ok that’s funny

[u/ImPugnax]

Deserved loss letting Florida come back like that, game should have been put away in 1st half.

[u/CumAssault → u/ImPugnax]

Yeah but Texas has Arch

[u/gatekeepboogienights]

The way Texas played those kneel downs was some classless shit.

[u/Hurdlebuddy12 → u/gatekeepboogienights]

I thought I was crazy for noticing that but for real

[u/Knook7 → u/gatekeepboogienights]

Reminds me of Greg Schiano's Bucs teams. Classless shit

[u/saharashooter → u/gatekeepboogienights]

Had to scroll too far to see this. Bush league stuff

[u/gray-ops → u/gatekeepboogienights]

I was thinking the same thing. The games over. You know it’s over. There’s no need to potentially hurt someone in garbage time.

[u/Narrow-Paramedic4051 → u/gatekeepboogienights]

Should have saved some of that energy for the actual game.

[u/idnttcrisis]

Firstly, Texas should be unranked after this loss. They have now lost to two straight unranked teams in back to back weeks. Secondly, Texas is in real trouble based on their upcoming schedule. They still have to play versus Ole Miss, versus Mississippi State, @ Missouri, @ LSU, and @ Texas A&M. A&M might end the season worse than 8-4 but it would be funny as hell to see Texas go 8-4 or worse.

[u/unfortunateavacado24 → u/idnttcrisis]

Unranking a top 10 Texas team two years in a row would be funny.

[u/astrothemorkie → u/unfortunateavacado24]

Beating Texas in Austin after losing 2 straight blowouts is the most Florida football shit ever

[u/irregular_stork → u/idnttcrisis]

Alternatively, let's put Florida at #6

[u/Wide-Nerve8655 → u/irregular_stork]

Florida needs to be simultaneously unranked and in the top 10. What is this team

[u/xmjm424 → u/Wide-Nerve8655]

Unranked Florida is a top ten team, ranked Florida is an unranked team.

[u/BigHeadDeadass → u/idnttcrisis]

What idiot scheduled 3 away games in a row?

[u/Lost-Protection-5655 → u/idnttcrisis]

Not only that, the final score of both games was 27-24. It’s uncanny. At least the Spurs season is beginning soon

[u/BrilliantMango]

Is it me or is ESPN way way way too soft on Arch? Does it have to do with his two uncles being employed there? He’s TERRIBLE.

[u/RIPGrantland → u/BrilliantMango]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

[u/reddev87]

The haters said Arch Manning couldn't bounce back and lead a game winning drive. And they were correct. Honestly, great call by the haters.

[u/irregular_stork → u/reddev87]

I liked the announcer who said losing to Oklahoma just made them too sad to beat Florida. It's the only explanation

[u/MC_chrome → u/reddev87]

Is it too soon to say that the University of Texas might be a bit overrated now?

Every season they get hyped as the best thing since sliced bread, yet they've developed a habit of not delivering in the end

[u/MuhMuhManRay]

Well, I see that Manning’s who play for orange teams still can’t beat Florida

[u/sundaym00d]

felt like a middle finger to college fans how the announcer kept saying how this puts texas in jeopardy of missing the playoffs

[u/gray-ops → u/sundaym00d]

I mean…. Doesn’t it?

[u/longd0ngs1lvers-]

I might be stating the obvious here, but I don’t think Sark is a very good coach

[u/DudeAbides29 → u/longd0ngs1lvers-]

He hasn’t entered a room where he isn’t the smartest guy in it.

[u/breakfastBiscuits → u/DudeAbides29]

I bet he always says, “so here’s the thing”

[u/patsandsox17]

There’s an alternate universe where a man takes his wife’s last name and Arch is an elite Subway sandwich artist

[u/TennesseeJedd]

Is Florida good? I honestly don’t know lol. Whole SEC is a mess

[u/justinbryant83 → u/TennesseeJedd]

I ask myself this on a weekly basis.

[u/mbe8819]

I don’t think the narrative should be “2nd half implosion by Texas”

It really should be “what a 2nd half comeback by Florida!”

That was an unreal road win for a team with a first year head coach - and came in on a two-game losing streak.

[u/Luigis_vacuum → u/mbe8819]

Backup sophomore QB too

[u/TexasForever_ → u/Luigis_vacuum]

Yeah, this really needs to be the story. This was the kid’s first start… on the road… against a top 10* team. What a play he made to ice the game.

[u/Luigis_vacuum → u/TexasForever_]

Would not be upset to see him start vs Georgia, definitely gonna be a fun two weeks of speculation

[u/Intelligent_Dress347 → u/mbe8819]

Playing their backup QB (a 19 year old in his first start)

[u/SimCFB → u/Intelligent_Dress347]

To be fair he balled the fuck out. I don't see Philo starting in 2 weeks.

[u/Aphrobang → u/mbe8819]

Yeah anyone watching this game knows we fucking sucked in the first half too. We got bailed out by the incredible kick return TD by Nisbett or else it was going to be a tie game at half with Texas having done nothing on last 4-5 drives.

[u/BananasLobster]

Feels like for every impressive play Arch has there are 3 huge mistakes and 10-15 small ones

[u/a_lec → u/BananasLobster]

All he wants to do is hurl it down field, which makes it impressive when it occasionally happens and embarrassing when he takes sacks, throws picks, or misses mid level routes 

[u/DirtThief]

Sometimes prayers get answered.

[u/Thorteris]

The haters were right about Texas

[u/Geoff12889]

I could never imagine having such high preseason expectations and then just falling apart at the seams. Never, I tell you.

[u/ProfNinjadeer]

Which Florida team will show up against Georgia?

I don't fucking know at this point flip a coin.

[u/FlaGator]

Proud to say I never once doubted this team

Texas come on man, you really let us Noles down two years in a row here.

[u/Horror_Response_1991]

This won’t help Arch’s chances for the Heisman 

[u/__AJK__]

I leave for a family emergency after we went up 17-3 and check in to see Texas lost. What a terrible fucking day

[u/Western_Promise3063 → u/__AJK__]

hope the emergency works out okay

[u/__AJK__ → u/Western_Promise3063]

They look like they'll be fine

[u/Itsobignow → u/__AJK__]

I'm only sorry for 1 of your losses, if that was the medical emergency.

[u/Chickenmangoboom → u/__AJK__]

Well I hope whatever is happening with your family is going better now.

[u/okiewxchaser]

What a great day to be a hater

Steve "Charlie Strong" Sarkisian and Arch "John Mateer" Manning with another legendary performance

[u/Arkehn]

I don't care what his name is, you have to bench the guy. Sark is a moron.

[u/BillyU_Is_A_ → u/Arkehn]

but think of the nil man.

[u/DarthNobody14]

It would be hilarious if texas lost the rest of their games this year.

[u/GoodGuyNixon]

We’re Florida. We make no sense. It’s what we do.

[u/Flameosaurus]

The haters said that Arch Manning was an overrated nepo baby only recruited for his name

The haters weren't mean enough

[u/CrashB111]

Gators see a "Manning" in Orange & White and go ape shit. It's just science.

[u/DiplomaticAggie]

I think it’s glaringly obvious arch was a 1.0000 rated recruit solely off his name.

Oh well!

[u/ARCman23]

Awful start to the game, but unlike the last two (2) weeks, FL actually fought back after they were punched in the mouth. 1st top 10 win on the road since 2012 for FL. Unreal. Go Gators.

[u/BasicWait8]

Accidentally clicked on last year’s postgame thread where unranked Florida beat UT

[u/brutallyhonestB]

Texas’s defensive line’s behavior at the end of the game was pathetic. I didn’t care who won or lost but after what I just saw, I’m glad they lost and I wish they lost by more!

[u/SirBenOfAsgard]

I get the feeling there are exactly two good teams named Alabama and Georgia and everyone else is involved in the great 2026 college football circus.

[u/Cam_V7 → u/SirBenOfAsgard]

The more things change the more they stay the same

[u/politicsranting → u/SirBenOfAsgard]

I take offense to that. But I am also not sure if you’re wrong

[u/Jlibs_21 → u/SirBenOfAsgard]

Don’t forget the Ohio State Jeremiah Smiths

[u/SirBenOfAsgard → u/Jlibs_21]

Idk man they lost to this Texas team

[u/Joeking1986]

No manning wearing 16 playing for ut has ever beaten Florida

[u/CDawg___]

this might be the first time ever an AP number 1 team lost in two consecutive weeks to an unranked team

[u/Ialwayssleep]

What are the odds on Sark being the head coach of the Washington Huskies next year?

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

Florida giving Texas nightmares a la Georgia but for all the wrong reasons is hilarious

[u/ShillinTheVillain]

If Texas fought as hard as they did in the victory formation...

Horns down, baby

[u/CosmoKramer49]

Imagine having 2 losses in October as a national championship favorite lmaoooo

…plz ignore my flair

[u/Glad_Pilot5814]

I used to think if Arch’s last name wasn’t Manning he’d be playing for a D2 school. Now I genuinely think he’d be working at McDonald’s

[u/szboy422]

Loses to Mizzou and a god awful SCAR. Two wins versus Top 11 teams

Most normal Florida season

[u/I-am-not-in-Guam]

I’m obviously biased, but what a loser way to go out. Trying to rush the victory formation. And not even once. Horns down.

[u/jc-f → u/I-am-not-in-Guam]

100% bitch move

[u/novakanesantiago → u/I-am-not-in-Guam]

Sark-led teams at their finest

[u/DrKielbasa006 → u/I-am-not-in-Guam]

Yeah I hate that shit, add it to the list why this team fucking sucks

[u/DweltElephant0]

Worst part of this game is media is gonna overhype UF again rather than acknowledge this was 2 mid-teams going at it

But also lmao Texas I love when teams commit to doing funny things

[u/stupidgts → u/DweltElephant0]

I really wish I could argue this, but I absolutely cannot. I'm just excited that our first year head coach already has this team at more wins at this point in the season than our previous coach had all season last year.

[u/Don_Gato1 → u/DweltElephant0]

Florida doesn’t deserve hype but I do think Sumrall and Faulkner should get credit for making some key second half adjustments. The offense was humming along and reliably chewing clock after being largely incompetent in the first half

[u/drbiscuit832]

Sometimes the funniest possible thing does happen, thank you Florida!

[u/Tommy05Sox]

Texas is the team from the first half of the Ohio State game. Put in Dia Bell going forward.

[u/ImNotFuckingSelling]

RANK US AGAIN COWARDS

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/ImNotFuckingSelling]

DONT RANK US AGAIN PLZ

[u/DarthNobody14 → u/ImNotFuckingSelling]

Florida when ranked: 🤮
Florida when unranked: 😈

[u/tacomonkey523]

Shouldn't have ever been rude to Holly Rowe fucking bums.

[u/Amadzombie]

I never had any doubts (don’t look at my receipts)

[u/Adams-Breath]

Has a team ever gone from 7 to unranked in one week? I also have no clue how Texas didn’t drop to atleast like 15 after losing to Oklahoma. Clearly the OSU game was a fluke which they shoulda lost anyways.

[u/MPFarmer]

Bad day for nepotism everywhere.

[u/skygtr350]

Manning wearing orange, Gator's see red.
