The biggest news for Texas was Arch Manning filling in for an injured Quinn Ewers against UTSA back in Week 3. From Heisman candidate to potential Heisman candidate, it didn’t matter.
No matter who Texas throws out there, Mississippi State would have its hands full.
“I think Arch has played extremely well, not just well, but excellent to elite,” Former Heisman winner Tim Tebow told On3. “He really has. He’s done so many things, whether it’s been accuracy or poise, decision making, ball placement, athleticism, so many things well, but with all that said, I do not think there’s a quarterback controversy.
“I think Quinn Ewers is one of the best players in the country. I think he has the legit shot for the Heisman, Texas has a legit shot to be a playoff contender, if not a championship winner. Do they have the best quarterback room in the country? Probably with both of them. Could Arch be an elite quarterback right now? Yes, probably. But I don’t think that you have a controversy.”
Texas and Mississippi State could be a mismatch on paper, but that’s why they play the game.
Texas was rolling while Mississippi State was reeling, but Bulldogs head coach Jeff Lebby promised they’d get it right.
“There’s great disappointment in how we played, how I coached, how we did what we did on Saturday morning,” Lebby said.
“For us, you know, our brand and what we do on Saturdays? Man, it affects our entire state. It affects our fanbase, our university, and the energy that’s pumped into our community. We understand that. We do.”
