Arch Manning’s last 2 games:
44/58 (75.9%)
517 passing yards
6 passing touchdowns
Zero turnovers
Today was perhaps Arch’s best day at Texas considering opponent + circumstance. Handled pressure wonderfully, made money throws when needed.

Graceson Littleton got a little too smart there with his slide inside the 5-yard line, lol.
Oh well 🤷♂️ Texas is gonna win this one.

Surprised Steve Sarkisian didn’t trust Arch Manning to try and end the game effectively on 3rd-and-10 there…

Arch Manning to Raleek Brown TD for the second straight week. Jesse Palmer on the ESPN broadcast:
“Great job in pre-snap. Arch Manning seeing the 1-on-1, getting exactly what he wants.”

What a break for Arch Manning and Texas. Should-be incomplete (imo) ruled a fumble and Longhorns recovery for a first down.
Wow.

Raleek Brown’s two most-recent carries:
• 6:28 left in 2nd quarter
• 9:03 left in 3rd quarter
Texas’ lead back (?) not exactly getting much run today. 6 carries in total…

Two bailouts for Texas in the first half.
• Potential Mizzou touchdown dropped
• Mizzou misses 38-yard field goal
Longhorns not tackling well, Arch Manning doesn’t look too comfortable and they still trail just 10-7. Fortunate.

Maraad Watson’s 61-yard scoop-and-score lit up a group chat of 20+ coaches in Irvington, New Jersey last Saturday night. It also completed an 18-month journey for a northeast prep star and Syracuse standout now in the SEC.
“I told him, ‘things just got a little serious now, man.’ This isn't Syracuse, New York no more. You're in Texas now. Kids are bred to play football down in Texas.’”
More ⬇️ on an emerging star in the middle of Texas’ defense.

About 45 minutes until kickoff for the Longhorns at Missouri. We’ve got @ThomasJonesAAS and @CedGolden live on site in Columbia for what should be another tight SEC contest.

Ryan Wingo is upgraded to probable ahead of his Missouri homecoming Saturday. DBs Kade Phillips and Graceson Littleton are also upgraded to probable.
Still questionable for Colin Simmons, Cam Coleman.

This is important to note for not only Maraad Watson, but the hundreds of players like him across college football:
“You look at the current climate of college football now and what you can do for yourself, and he had to go take that chance and that opportunity.”
The current apitalize on their skill and success. That is something to be celebrated, imo.

Derrick Johnson was at Blazier Elementary yesterday to unveil his tenth “Discovery Den” in Austin through his Defend the Dream Foundation.
Wednesday’s unveiling included 1,000 new books at the Blazier library. Johnson’s foundation benefits 4,000 students annually in Austin Independent School District.
