How is Texas dealing with the Arch Manning craze? Texas football insider David Eckert reports on Steve Sarkisian’s approach | Before the Snap
Arch Manning is one of the greatest players in college football this season and was just named Texas’ starting quarterback. Texas football insider David Eckert offers insight into how the team is dealing with the madness.
The Utah football team will be without its starting quarterback Cam Rising for the difficult away game against No. 15 Oklahoma State on Saturday and will replace the seventh-year senior with a familiar name.
The Utes start No. 12 with true freshman Isaac Wilson, the little brother of Zach Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of BYU and current Denver Broncos reserve.

Wilson, making his second start as Rising’s backup, completed 20 of 33 passes for 239 yards with four touchdowns against Utah State last weekend. He also became the first true freshman in program history to throw three touchdowns in his first start.
Wilson was a promising prospect coming out of high school, ranked as the No. 280 player nationally and the No. 18 quarterback according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. The four-star prospect attended Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah.
The 6-foot-4 signal caller sets up the battle of the seventh-year quarterbacks, as Rising was scheduled to face Cowboys quarterback Alan Bowman, who is also in his seventh season of college football. Rising did a pregame warm-up but was ruled ineligible to play.
Is Isaac Wilson related to Zach Wilson?
Yes, Utah quarterback Isaac Wilson is the younger brother of Zach Wilson, the former No. 2 pick of the New York Jets who was traded to the Denver Broncos in the offseason.
Wilson attended BYU and was the second quarterback selected in the 2021 NFL Draft after Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars.
