Game Thread CFP Playoff Cotton Bowl, tOSU vs Texas, Fri. Jan. 10th, 7:30 ET on ESPN

Emmanuel Acho Calls Will Howard “The Worst Remaining Quarterback” in the CFP​

Former Texas linebacker Emmanuel Acho has been in the news for several reasons in the past 24 hours. One of them is that he called Will Howard “the worst remaining quarterback” in the CFP. While I don’t make a habit out of reserving sections for hot-take artists like Acho, I feel the need to defend Howard here.



Howard was incredible in Ohio State’s wins over Tennessee and Oregon, completing a combined 41 of 55 passes (74.5 percent) for 630 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. According to ESPN Stats & Info, his QBR in those contests was the best among quarterbacks to compete in the CFP or a bowl game this postseason.
  1. Ohio State’s Will Howard vs. Tennessee: 98.7
  2. Ohio State’s Will Howard vs. Oregon: 97.7
  3. Miami’s Cam Ward vs. Iowa State: 97.6
  4. Arkansas’ Taylen Green vs. Texas Tech: 95.9
  5. Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart vs. Duke: 95.2
  6. Syracuse’s Kyle McCord vs. Washington State: 94.3
  7. Louisville’s Harrison Bailey vs. Washington: 92.1
  8. Texas’ Quinn Ewers vs. Arizona State: 91.9
  9. Navy’s Blake Horvath vs. Oklahoma: 90.6
  10. West Virginia’s Garrett Greene vs. Memphis: 90.4
I see Quinn Ewers in the top 10, but Penn State’s Drew Allar and Notre Dame’s Riley Leonard are nowhere to be found. Interesting!

I genuinely mean this when I say, good. The team needs this.

Emmanuel Acho is the brother of Sam, who’s on espn. They both played at Texas.

Emmanuel has [allegedly] been dipping his pen in the company ink at Fox it seems.

His brother Sam picked Clemson to win it all after teams were announced, which was....odd.

They were both great players for Texas (particularly Sam) but they don't really come across as Texas homers. Seems like shock jock engagement farming, searching for a differentiated take that doesn't work very well.
