Earnest Hill and the Warhawks defense had some fighting words for Manning and the Longhorns offense.
Texas has looked every bit the part of one of the top teams in the country, and didn't miss a beat offensively when prized recruit Arch Manning entered the game off the bench in relief of Quinn Ewers in last Saturday's 56-7 win over UTSA. Ewers suffered a strained abdominal muscle and is questionable for Saturday.
If Ewers is unable to go, Manning will be under center for his first college start. But that doesn't mean Louisiana-Monroe will play scared. In fact, according to their defensive coordinator, Earnest Hill, the players don't fear Manning. "We actually have some kids on our team who played against him in New Orleans," Hill said during his press conference on Wednesday. "So they don't hold too much fear against him. So they're not gonna hold any fear against him coming up here."
Manning completed nine of his 12 pass attempts for 223 yards and four touchdowns in relief of Ewers in Week 3, and added a 67 yard touchdown run as well. It's one thing for Louisiana-Monroe to not fear Manning, it's another for that to translate into actually competing with him and the Longhorns on Saturday.1 Hour AgoMike McDaniel is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where he has worked since January 2022.
