Arch Manning Set to Make Historic First Start for Texas Longhorns

Arch Manning, widely recognized as college football's most famous player, is poised to make his first start as quarterback for the No. 1 Texas Longhorns this Saturday against Louisiana-Monroe. This momentous occasion arrives following the injury of current QB Quinn Ewers, presenting an opportunity for Manning to step into a legacy-rich role, following in the footsteps of his renowned family members, Archie, Peyton, and Eli Manning. As anticipation builds around Manning's debut, he looks to replicate the success of ten previous Texas quarterbacks in their first starts while also igniting a debate about the future of the team amid the 'Manning craze'. Coach Steve Sarkisian has officially announced Manning as the starting quarterback, emphasizing confidence in his abilities despite ULM's preparation for the matchup without trepidation. This game marks not only a significant milestone for Manning but also serves as the final test before Texas's upcoming SEC debut.
