Expectations for Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning are sky high, and his lineage sometimes seems to help him, but at other times, it works against him.
The grandson of Archie Manning and his two uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning, his family is surrounded by big stars who played in the NFL and were successful.

Now, he is preparing for what will be his first season as the program’s starter and is already projected to be the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. This, in addition to demonstrating Arch’s level, also means a heavy burden on his shoulders.
In fact, SEC Mike and Cousin Shane made it clear in the June 18 episode of “That SEC Football Podcast” that Manning will return in 2026. Their concern is whether Texas will finish 11-1 or 10-2 this year, as the college team is shaping up to be the best this year and is the leader in ESPN’s FPI. “I feel like the expectations are really high, and it’s so easy to overlook because he’s a Manning and he’s been living in the spotlight,” Shane said.
He also made it clear that the fact that Arch is leading Texas to the playoffs and winning a new title rests on him: “All that goes on Arch Manning’s shoulders, and if he doesn’t perform, then let’s say it is 9-3. I think a lot of Longhorn fans would believe that would be a failure this season.”
As if that weren’t enough, Manning is the leading candidate to win Bleacher Nation’s 2025 Heisman Trophy with +700, ahead of Garrett Nussmeier (+800).
Conflicting opinions and a double ultimatum
On the other side of the fence, some simply do not believe that Arch is among the best. “If you are so good and everyone has you projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, why in the hell are you not playing above a seventh-round quarterback?” This was asked by one of his detractors and former Georgia QB Aaron Murray on SiriusXM, to cite one example.
Opinions even vary depending on the media outlet. However, what they do agree on is that winning against Oklahoma and Texas A&M is crucial.
Arch Manning proves he’s good in any hood with chill vibes at St. Louis cookout
The Red River Showdown and the rekindled Lone Star rivalry are not just another game, and Manning, in particular, should not take them lightly. If he manages to beat them, he would be hailed as the team’s savior, but if he loses… it would be quite the opposite, and “you don’t got those bragging rights” , according to Mike.
“Right now, your two rivals, you are ahead of them. I think staying ahead, that’s one of the biggest things in all of college football, so that’s why I got Oklahoma two and Texas A&M three,” Mike said.
Now, Manning must prove himself and show what he is made of under the constant gaze of the public eye.

James Franklin contract details: What the new Virginia Tech coach will earn in salary and bonuses annually
Imagn Images Virginia Tech coach James Franklin will make around $8.2 million annually on the five-year deal he signed with the Hokies, the university announced Friday. Though that is around $300,000 less than he was making at Penn State, it does keep him among the top 20 highest-paid coaches in college football.Franklin's compensation is also staggered. He's set to make $500,000 in base annual salary with the rest of the money coming from incentives. Franklin will make more money each year of the deal, with the contract's value set to peak at $12.75 million in 2030. Notably, Virginia Tech is also increasing Franklin's salary pool to $15.5 million, which means that he'll have plenty of money to assemble his inaugural coaching staff with the Hokies.

Can Cowboys’ new-look defense continue newfound success vs. NFC-leading Eagles?
FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys' margin for error the rest of the 2025 NFL season is essentially nonexistent with a 4-5-1 record through 11 weeks. The SportsLine model gives Dallas just a 5% chance to reach the postseason, meaning the Cowboys have the wiggle room for likely just one more loss the rest of the year. Both Dallas wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott view Sunday's game against the NFC-leading Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) like it's a playoff game. It's a mindset they will carry the rest of the season. "Technically, we could treat this as if we're in the playoffs, if you want to think of it that way. Win or go home. I feel like that's the situation that we're in," Lamb said Thursday. "And I feel like that's the right mindset that we got to have […]
