Could Arch Manning play for the Texas Longhorns in Peach Bowl?

Arch Manning has been one of the most talked about players in college football over the last two years. Manning joined the Longhorns program two years ago, with high expectations due to both his family name and the fact that he was the overall top prospect in his high school class.

However, Manning has sporadically played as the quarterback for the Longhorns. The team has preferred the more experienced Quinn Ewers to lead them this season, with Manning being used more for his running ability (something that Ewers has struggled with) rather than his passing skills.

While Manning is projected to start in 2025, he still has a lot to show. The easiest way for him to accomplish this is to acquire some experience in the Peach Bowl. However, this is only possible if Quinn Ewers is injured or the Longhorns dominate the Sun Devils in the first three quarters and have an advantage, compelling Coach Steve Sarkisian to rest his starters and bring on the backups.
