Key Points:

- The possibility of benching Manning for backup KJ Lacey is being considered, but such a move carries significant risks and could impact Sarkisian's job security and the team's College Football Playoff prospects.
- Questions are mounting about Manning's future with Texas and his NFL draft potential, with speculation about a potential transfer if his struggles continue.
- Sarkisian acknowledges the challenge of balancing support and accountability for Manning while facing mounting pressure to produce results and maintain the program's competitiveness.
