My biggest comfort still is that Arch Manning is their QB. Until he actually shows he can perform at a high level against a defense of capable level I don't believe he's turned any corners
What floors me is a year later after Julian already went to New York… It’s damn near consensus AGAIN that Manning gives them the advantage at QB.
How do you watch the two play and come away with Arch being the better QB?
I don’t follow at all, and when I hear that argument I Question the persons intelligence or their ability to read. All you have to do is look at the stats. One almost set the yearly completion percentage mark and the other still throws into double coverage multiple times a game. What are we even doing here?
Then there’s this odd thing that this year Texas spent money on their roster. I assure you they did last year and btw they spent more than we did in 2024 too.
Both rosters are great, and it’ll come down to the simple things as it always does.
1. Turnovers
2. LOS
I’m confident Julian will take care of the ball. Can anyone say the same for Arch? Bottom line is that if our OL isn’t just an absolute mess we’ll win the game.
If it’s circa 2025 vs Indiana again then yeah it’ll be a dog fight. But if they can just hold their own I don’t see Texas being within 2 touchdowns in the 4th.
