Texas Longhorns backup QB Arch Manning came in for his first action of his collegiate career in the 52-0 blowout win for Texas against Colorado State. So Manning (nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning), came in for Quinn Ewers. And well, let's just say Texas Longhorn fans are in good hands for whenever Ewers does decide to go pro.

Looks pretty good to say the least. But Arch wasn't done dazzling Texas fans yet. He even added a QB sneak for a touchdown.

Arch finished the game 5-6 for 96 yards and a touchdown. Now, obviously, this was all a blowout win against Colorado State but, there is still reason to be excited. Arch is one of the best prospects in modern football history. That alone is a reason to tune in anytime he comes in. Oh, and their starter, Quinn Ewers? Well, let's say there's no QB controversy as he is a Heisman trophy contender, and he also pulled out this ridiculous throw today.
