Who here would trade Sayin for Manning ?
Arch Manning is preparing to face Ohio State football, but maybe he won’t be the best QB in the game
Could Arch Manning be the second-best quarterback on the field when Texas faces Ohio State football?www.cleveland.com
Arch Manning is preparing to face Ohio State football, but maybe he won’t be the best QB in the game
The hype train for Texas quarterback Arch Manning is at full steam.
It started during his recruitment as a five-star prospect with that name. It built when he flashed potential across 27 offensive snaps as a freshman in 2023. It grew last year as he factored into a run to the College Football Playoff semifinals, starting two regular-season games in place of former Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewers.
Then came the offseason.
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian wasted little time naming Manning the starter in 2025. At the Manning Passing Academy, he was the center of attention. On ESPN, he’s a frequent talking point.
“Arch Manning is the best college football quarterback we have seen since Tim Tebow entered the scene in 2006,” SEC football analyst Paul Finebaum said on ESPN’s “Get Up” earlier this month.
Perhaps this hype will be warranted. Texas should be a championship contender this season, and if Manning -- the nephew of NFL greats Peyton and Eli Manning -- plays anywhere near his level of expectations, he’ll be a Heisman candidate.
What if he’s not the best quarterback inside Ohio Stadium on Aug. 30, though?
There hasn’t been much national hype building around Ohio State’s quarterback situation, and some of that is due to coach Ryan Day not naming a starter yet. But many presume it’ll be Julian Sayin getting the nod after serving as the third option during his freshman campaign last year.
Sayin hasn’t been around college football for two years like Manning has, and he hasn’t earned a start like his Week 1 counterpart. However, he fits other notable criteria:
.
- Sayin was a five-star prospect.
- Sayin was the top quarterback in his recruiting class.
- Sayin committed to and signed with an SEC program (Alabama) out of high school.

I wouldn't. I do wish we were playing Texas in game 3, but these are the cards dealt.
Just one thing to do Mr. Sayin. Go out and put on a show that shuts the cockholster of Mr. Finebaum.

He says he can't wait to tell his story...just you wait and see! Bet!
The claims from the usual sunshine pumpers and the DFBIA that Harbaugh and his staff had "no clue who Stallions even was!" still make me laugh.
