Arch Manning Being "Arch"

Arch didn't play well but still had 258 yards and 2 TDs in 3 quarters.

Hope he learned some things.

It's a long season. 12 games plus a possible SEC Title game and 12 team playoff. It is possible Ewers might get hurt again and we will need Arch against somebody better than ULM and UTSA.

This is why I love this team and has me the most optimistic about this season.

The talent 2 or 3 (or 4) deep on both sides of the ball is incredible…. And absolutely vital in a college football world of a 16 game season.

And I know the talent stacking didn’t happen overnight but there is a part of it that feels that way. Sark is putting on a masterclass so far. 

Later on top of that, the schedule is about as ideal as you can get: typical cream puffs in September sandwiched around a hostile non-conference road game against the defending champ in a bit of rebuild mode complete with first SEC game against one of the bottom feeders to get any/all kinks ironed out before things really get started. I guess having that first game against a team like Miss St on the road would be better, but that’s quibbling.

hell even being the “visitor” in Dallas is great because it’s one less SEC road game we have to play and makes @ aggy our toughest road game the rest of the year. And even the timing of that game is helpful as a warmup for the SEC championship because I can’t imagine that game in UGA’s backyard will be any more intimidating than what we’ll deal with in College Station the week before.

Agree with this. Arch has gotten some great reps and even starting experience, and he’s showed a ton of potential. But he also showed tonight that he’s got a ways to go and Quinn is clearly the best QB on the team right now. 
I'd say he's even with or a bit ahead of where Quinn was in year one. But yeah, this is Quinn's team this year, Arch will be more than ready to take over next.

Ducks? Dude was launching rockets out there for better or worse.

Yep, when a ball is being thrown 40+ yards it’s going to be in the air for a while no matter what. If anything, Arch needs to take some pace off his throws. The second INT was an on-target throw to Blue, but way too hot for the RB to come down with it. Arm strength is not a concern with Arch.

He made 7 completions of 15 yards or longer. Another long completion (to Moore?) was called back for penalty. 

A few mid to deep balls were just within grasp. Remember all the hand-wringing about Quinns bombs being off the mark even with NFL speedster Worthy as the target?

Dude is going to be a treat for Sark when he gets the full time job.
