Laugh at Greg Davis all you want, but that motherfucker could manage the clock and call a last possession drive to win a 1 score game.  I can think of a few instances in the last couple of years where that could have come in handy.

Don't worry. I will.

[UTEE97 3898]

Since our RZ offense has been atrocious and we have seen what Arch can do in the RZ, there is no reason not to play him if Quinn continues to come up empty. Also, don't just play Arch for a snap or two. Let him get settled. It will not only help us this year but will also get him ready for tOSU next year.

Kirk Herbstreit believes Arch Manning is closer to grandfather Archie, rather than uncles

by:Nick Kosko•about 23 hours ago

Arch Manning is an exceptional athlete, but he’s not like uncles Peyton and Eli, according to Kirk Herbstreit.

He’s more nimble footed, similar to his father Cooper who was a wide receiver. But Arch Manning is closest to grandfather Archie, if you ask Herbstreit.

“I know everybody wants to compare him to his uncles, but he’s probably more like his grandfather,” Herbstreit said on Pardon My Take. “He’s much bigger and stronger. Look at this guy. You know, it’s one thing, you look at him on TV, then you go to the pregame, and you look at these guys in person. Some of these guys just look so different than what your perception of them is.

“And Arch is one of those guys. I mean, his legs, I don’t know if he lives under a squat rack. That dude is put together. He’s not just tall, slippery, he’s quick. He is a powerful dude who can spin it.” 

Arch Manning had to start a couple of games when Quinn Ewers went down with injury. But since Ewers came back, Manning’s had a bit of a role in the offense.

Arch Manning a unique ‘Manning QB’

Arch Manning’s threat to run is something that keeps defenses honest when defending him. It is also something that could continue for the Longhorns, starting in the first round.

“You talk about an excitement of where you want to see Texas next year with Arch having an entire offseason to build his game, but he’s nothing like Peyton, he’s nothing like Eli, he’s really nothing like his grandfather, who was a really athletic guy,” Herbstreit said. “He’s his own guy, and he’s got the size that they all have, but his strength and his athletic ability. Who knows what Sark will do in the offseason to build the offense around him, and who knows if Arch will get an opportunity here in these next potential four games.”

This year, Manning is 61-of-90 passing for 939 yards, nine touchdowns, two interceptions, a 67.8% completion percentage, 100 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.

“He’s what everybody thought he was,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said, regarding Manning, ahead of the SEC Championship. “He’s athletic, smart, thick. Great thrower. He can run their entire offense, while at the same time creating designed runs, or off-schedule runs. Both are scary. Because designed runs, with him, are tough to defend, because you’re having to defend the whole field. And then he’s also an elite thrower and passer. I mean, he’s a great player.

“They’ve brought him along that way. He’s gained confidence each and every week. He had to start some games. I mean, you couldn’t write a better story for him, in terms of development, to be ready to go and be the starter.”

Yes both times they scored with too much time on the clock. In 2008 we scored a TD too fast. At 2023 OU if we would have scored a TD instead of settling for a FG, the game could’ve gone to OT.

Well, hell... if Kirby's afraid of him, we're in the driver's seat, right? Right? C'mon, Sark... tell me that's right?

Not Texags. They know he’s a 3* masquerading as a 5* because of his name.

What if I told you Blake Gideon told Sark to run the sack play on 3rd down just inside FG range?

[Tex Long 4645]

What if I told you the play on defense was if Tech got a completion, hold the receiver up, don't tackle him and don't let him get out of bounds... let the clock run out. We had a 1-point lead, Tech had a timeout left and a FG would win it for them.

After all, their kicker was a student who had won a contest the Pirate held to find someone, anyone, who could actually kick a field goal. It's too bad it didn't end that way (would rather we win, but...) because Tech would have had REAL Twelfth Man to shove in aggy's face.

Make no mistake, that game was not lost by Blake Gideon or by the Crabtree catch, it was lost by Mack Brown on our first few possessions, insisting on following his script regardless of personnel, score or even field position. We opened up with what looked like a draw, with the ball on our own goal line - around the 2 - and handing the ball to a running back standing still 7 or 8 yards in the end zone. Safety, duh. Gave up 2 points on our first play. We were down 19-0 before we put up a single point, and buried at the half 22-6.

I know this is the Arch thread, but one more thing needs to be said:

Fuck Mack Brown

Arch Madness has been in full affect for the entirety of the 2024 football season.

Despite starting only a pair of games and showing flashes of brilliance in his other appearances, Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has been one of the biggest topics of conversation in college football over the last few weeks.

For now, he remains the backup, with the consensus being that he will take over as the full-time starter in 2025 once Quinn Ewers heads to the NFL. But, even with his limited number of reps as a starter, the hype has already reached astounding heights.

So much so, in fact, that Manning has already taken an early lead with the oddsmakers as the favorite for the 2025 Heisman Trophy.

You can check out the odds for the top 12 players below, per BetOnline.Ag:

Arch Manning +600

Garrett Nussmeier +800

John Mateer +900

Drew Allar +1000

DJ Lagway +1100

Kevin Jennings +1200

Lanorris Sellers +1200

Nico Iamaleava +1200

Cade Klubnik +1400

Conner Weigman +1600

Sam Leavitt +1800

Jackson Arnold +2500

Obviously what stands out the most on this list is that Manning - who leads the pack - has fewer starts under his belt by quite a large margin than any other player in the field. In fact, you have to get all the way down to the player with the player with the 22nd best odds, Michigan true freshman Bryce Underwood, to find one with less starts than Manning.

In total, Manning has seen action in eight games this season, going 61 of 90 passing for 939 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions along with 21 carries for 100 yards and four scores on the ground.

That said, Manning's dual-threat ability gives him a leg-up over some other quarterbacks like Allar and Nussmeier. Of course, Jennings, Sellers, Klubnik and Leavitt offer their own bit of juice in that regard, but Manning's combination of mobility and elite arm talent is certainly something special.

Another thing Manning has working in his favor is his immense star power, marketability and swagger, which alongside the exciting things he can do with the ball in his hands, make it very difficult to imagine him not being in contention for the award if things go the way most people expect.

Manning and No. 5 Texas will face Klubnik and Clemson in the first round of the College Football Playoff in Austin on Saturday.

Arch is 6'4 235 lbs. There is absolutely zero reason we should not be using him in a package in every game at some point. The fact that he's sitting on the bench rotting away has me questioning if Sark is afraid of hurting feelings or some shit. Arch isn't fragile. I'm not saying let the kid play an entire quarter, but put him in the RZ and let him eat.

[BigHornedLurker 2146]

honestly my top would probably be 

1. Sellers - has some real game experience behind him and legit 

2. Lagaway - similar 

3. Drew Allar - experienced , maybe Penn State pulls some offense out of their ass finally 

4. Arch Manning - maybe he games out, but we'll have to see how a full off season gets him ready 

beyond that its a bit of a crapshoot , i think any list that has weigman , arnold, or mateer (lost to a 2-9 wyoming) is a bid ridiculous but hey why wait until the offseason for dumb content
