00:00The Longhorns know that they play UL Monroe right now as a 44 and a half point favorite.
00:08They start their SEC action against a Mississippi State team that's dreadful and got beat in
00:12Stark Vegas giving up 41 points to Toledo.
00:15They know they don't need Quinn Ewers and I still think Quinn Ewers is probably going
00:19to start next week against Mississippi State.
00:21Then they have a bye before the Red River rivalry.
00:24So I don't think Quinn Ewers is fully healthy.
00:26There's no need to rush him back and Arch Manning is there.
00:29And I think Kev you can even see that on display with the Heisman Trophy odds because
00:33you sent in our CFT group chat as Arch Manning was tearing up UTSA last Saturday night in
00:39Austin.
00:40His 210 to 1 number came all the way down to 25 to 1 and Quinn Ewers who entered week
00:46number 3 as the Heisman Trophy favorite at a 5 to 1 price was only 5 bucks in front
00:52of his backup Arch Manning.
00:54And yet the market is kind of resetting here where Quinn Ewers' price is now 12 to 1.
00:58Again, and then John, you know, here's to hear how the tabs read, okay?
01:02Yeah, please.
01:03Games top 25 FCS Arch Manning National Championship.
01:06I get it.
01:07Okay.
01:08The statistics.
01:09I get it.
01:10It's backup.
01:11It's score.
01:12I gotcha.
01:1317.7 yards per pass attempt.
01:14Five touchdowns through the air, two on the ground.
01:15The rate 317.8.
01:16I don't even know what that is.
01:18I mean the passer rating for Arch Manning.
01:21Here's the thing.
01:22We can all sit here and be confident that they're going to give the football back to
01:24Quinn but you're saying that they're playing UL Monroe today.
01:28He might throw seven touchdowns.
01:29If he wants, he can.
01:30And the next week is Mississippi State.
01:31It's terrible.
01:32Are we sure they're going to bench Arch Manning?
01:35Are you sure they're going to bench Arch Manning?
01:36Yes, because he doesn't have any.
01:38Oh man.
01:39I gotcha.
01:40I tell ya.
01:41Quinn Ewers went into Alabama.
01:42Got the victory last year.
01:43Sure did.
01:44Went into Ann Arbor.
01:45Got the victories.
01:46Battle tested.
01:47Yeah.
01:48The Red River rivalries in a couple weeks.
01:49You want your best quarterback in terms of game experience, in terms of that matchup.
01:52Quinn Ewers, okay, goes into that game, throws three picks.
01:56When they're trailing, maybe then Arch Manning comes in in regards to a spark plug.
02:01But again, the reason why, to your point, why they're putting Texas and why he put Texas
02:06in regards to being number one is if Quinn Ewers had an ACL, God forbid, or a throwing
02:11shoulder injury, right, where there's the potential to lose him for the season, I think
02:16maybe people would be a little bit tempered and not, you know, maybe full-blown Texas
02:21number one.
02:22But that's secondary.
02:23He's only given up one touchdown pass.
02:25Five interceptions.
02:27And the front seven looks like it did last year, only giving up 105 rushing yards on
02:31the ground.
02:32So again, the interior looks like it could be played with anybody, Georgia, Alabama,
02:37and it doesn't matter who's quarterback.
02:39That's why I'm buying into Texas being a top three team.
02:42And the reason I moved them up to number one is because of how complete they are.
02:46I mentioned it.
02:47There's 16 FBS teams at the end of week three that were a perfect 3-0 against the spread.
02:51And there were four FBS programs booked as a favorite in all three, covering all three
02:57of those numbers, Texas included, by more than four, by more than two touchdowns per
03:01game.
