You wouldn’t think so. It’s the first start for Texas Longhorns backup QB Arch Manning, and the game against UL Monroe won’t be televised. It’ll only be streamed.

Last week, Manning replaced Quinn Ewers after he suffered an oblique muscle injury in the 2nd quarter against UTSA and scored five touchdowns. Now, the prominent freshman in the red jersey will start in place of Ewers, who continues to recover from his abdominal muscle strain.

Manning’s performance against the Roadrunners was the only topic of conversation on the major commentators’ minds this week. Paul Finebaum said Manning will definitely win the Heisman Trophy at Texas, Joel Klatt pointed out that having two great quarterbacks is a win-win for Texas coach Steve Sarkisian, and Stephen A. Smith scoffed at the idea of ​​a “quarterback controversy.”

If Ewers’ injury lingers for a few more weeks, there is a scenario in which Manning pushes the Southlake junior out of the roster entirely.

In any case, you will need internet to watch the game on Saturday night.
