College football fans are abuzz with the news that Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is questionable for the upcoming game against Mississippi State due to an oblique strain. This presents a unique opportunity for Arch Manning to take the reins and prove himself as a capable starting quarterback. But can he rise to the challenge?

In his previous starts, Manning has shown flashes of brilliance, but also made rookie mistakes. His first career start against ULM saw him struggle with decision-making, completing just 15 of 29 passes and throwing two interceptions. However, he has also demonstrated his elite arm talent and advanced ball placement, leaving fans wondering if he's ready for the big leagues.

The game against Mississippi State could be the perfect opportunity for Manning to prove himself. The Bulldogs are struggling to find their footing, having lost their last three games, including a blowout to Toledo. They're also dealing with the loss of their starting quarterback, Blake Shapen, for the season. Meanwhile, Texas's running game has been consistent, with the team averaging 238 yards and five touchdowns against ULM. If Manning can capitalize on this momentum, he might be able to lead the Longhorns to a convincing win.

But will he be up to the task? Manning has the potential to be the future of Texas football, and this game could be his chance to shine. With a bye week coming up before the crucial Oklahoma game, playing Manning against Mississippi State would give Ewers an extra two weeks to recover from his injury. The stakes are high, and it's unclear whether Manning can handle the pressure. Can he prove himself as a capable starting quarterback, or will he falter under the spotlight?
