Seems like a ton of people were ready at their keyboards to say Arch is a bum, seemingly forgot this is his first season starting football games and he's a redshirt Sophomore. That means he could play the 2025, 2026, AND the 2027 college seasons before going to the draft.

It's obvious that he needs more experience and won't be coming out after the 2025 season, but saying he's an outright bum was jumping the gun

Arch didn't have a crazy game but played efficiently and accurately. Texas mostly won by virtue of
(a) stifling defensive performance
(b) run game actually doing something

(c)  Punt return TD by Niblett. 

(d) Arch not turning the ball over 

Texas got a crucial player back on defense in Malik Muhmmad (CB) that was a key factor. 

This was literally the only game I've watched of Oklahoma, and John Mateer play and I wasn't impressed. But I'm guessing it may have had something to do with Mateer coming back from injury as well.

I feel like you're a Texas fan. 

Nope. I only started watching college football consistently last season (2024). I follow the most interesting team. That was Colorado last year, and Texas this year. 

Basically I have a team I cheer for every year based on the stories/players. Arch seemed like the most interesting player to watch  just like Travis and Sheddur were last year.  (Not objective, just my own opinion).

I am actually a UNC-CH alumni. I don't really care about their football program but I do get a lot of news about Bellicheck and the shenanigans going on there lol

As much as people were clowning Texas and Arch Manning, they have come alive this game vs Oklahoma. Texas run game has opened up finally, and the defense is clamping down on John Mateer, who has thrown 3 interceptions already.  Arch has looked solid.

Isn’t Mateer playing with a bad elbow?

Penn State LOSES to North Western, is the biggest headline from today thus far. 

I listened to the Mizzou vs Bama game on the radio, it was strangely close for most of it. Mizzou's QB lost them that game with key turnovers. Bama looked shaky in some moments.

I watched Texas vs Oklahoma just now.

I'm going to watch South Carolina vs LSU tonight. First time I'm going to watch LaNorris Sellers.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
