Steve Sarkisian - English
Texas Longhorns - English
The College Football season is just under a month away, kicking off with five games on Saturday, August 23, but the Week 1 highlight is undeniable: defending champs Ohio State hosting the Texas Longhorns, the only team to reach the playoffs in each of the last two seasons. Now, as most fans know, Texas is rolling with Arch Manning as their new quarterback. Last year, the Buckeyes knocked Texas out in the semifinals with a forced fumble on then-QB Quinn Ewers-now turning heads with the Dolphins in the NFL. The hype is off the charts, with both teams favored to win it all this year, though each will feature a fresh face under center, making this clash a must-watch.
Coach Sarkisian Has Faith in Arch, With a Caveat
Coach Steve Sarkisian has shown he has confidence in Arch, as he made clear when he chatted with Colin Cowherd on The Herd this week. Sarkisian knows this is a huge game-not only is it the opener, but it’s also a chance for revenge after last year’s semifinal exit. Plus, it’s the ultimate test to see what Manning’s made of.
Playing the champs in Week 1 is a QB’s first real test. There’s no better proving ground. Sarkisian hinted at giving Manning some freedom at the line against Ohio State, though the game plan is still a work in progress.
Sarkisian praised Manning’s ability to handle unexpected moments, crediting his upbringing and watching tape with his uncles, Eli and Peyton, as well as his father and grandfather. “He’s more than capable of doing that,” Sarkisian said, noting Arch’s composure during past “fires” with the team. However, the coach is cautious about relying too heavily on audibles in a challenging away game, considering Manning’s limited experience after two years as Ewers’ backup.
New QBs Shape the Texas-Ohio State Showdown
As the game nears, both teams will sport different quarterbacks from last season. For Texas, Manning’s story looks promising-he’s spent two years on the bench soaking up Sarkisian’s system and has more game time, though not enough to be a lock for the projected top pick in the next draft. Last year, he showed promise in 10 appearances, throwing for 939 yards and 9 touchdowns with a 67.8% completion rate, plus 108 rushing yards and 4 scores on the ground.
His two starts were blowouts, with Texas winning 86-16 combined, a sign of big potential. Meanwhile, Ohio State seems set to start Julian Sayin, who barely saw action last year behind Will Howard, throwing just 12 passes. This quarterback shift sets the stage for a fresh battle, with Manning’s growth under scrutiny against a new Buckeyes signal-caller.

2025 Tour Championship purse, prize money: Payouts for Tommy Fleetwood, field at FedEx Cup Playoffs
The final 72 holes of the 2025 PGA Tour season decided who took home the grand prize offered by the FedEx Cup Playoffs. While the 2025 Tour Championship again served as the season finale for the top 30 players on the PGA Tour, but the purse and prize funds looked different this season given the PGa Tour's decision to change the playing format for the final tournament.Instead of the near-$83 million purse and $25 million winner's prize that had previously been dished out, the Tour Championship this year offered a $40 million purse with $10 million going to the winner, Tommy Fleetwood. Not bad considering this marked Fleetwood's first career win on the PGA Tour and he had just coughed up the lead at a prior playoff event two weeks earlier.The rest of the FedEx Cup money had been doled […]

Tour Championship: Tommy Fleetwood finally has his moment … and a $10 million check to boot
ATLANTA — You keep kicking at the door long enough, and one day you’re going to break it down. Tommy Fleetwood, 0-for-a-career in PGA Tour events, victim of two heartbreaking Sunday losses in the last two months, finally brought home a victory on Sunday at the Tour Championship. In a year where golf delivered so many feelgood finishes, this was one of the best.But, of course, it had to come with some drama, because nothing ever comes easy for Fleetwood.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementStanding on the 15th tee, with 200 long yards of water in front of him and Patrick Cantlay three strokes behind him, Fleetwood faced maybe the most consequential hole of his professional life. He’d dunked this shot in the water on Saturday, and another water ball could well have broken him. But on Sunday, the ball held the sloping green, and, […]
