    We're going to find out if Baxter is the real deal. I'm thinking Blue and Robinson can handle 10-12 carries a game between them. Robinson is going to surprise some people.

    I think Malik would hit the portal regardless. As for Arch, all accounts are that the Mannings are happy with how things are going. Archie also threw this out the other day:

    “Eli had what I think is the best course. He redshirt his first year, was a backup in his second year, and then started in his third year. I think it’s a big jump.”

    Just my speculation but if Ewers doesn't lead UT to the playoffs chances are high Arch starts the season over Ewers next year. The hype on Arch is so big no way they will let him transfer. Malik has no chance.

    Baxter is better than pretty good

    Blue and Red are who/what ever as backups

    Who ****ing cares about next season's QB?

    Are you saying they will need to start Arch in order to keep him from transferring?

    I don't think that will happen. There have been quotes from Archie Manning (I will try to find and link to them later) that said they wanted him to redshirt and then be the backup for a year before starting. There's no financial pressure on the Manning family to go pro and Arch probably needs all of the reps he can get considering his high school experience. I also can't imagine that he would've come to Texas without knowing that Ewers might return for his senior year.

    Hoping for Baxter/Blue to step up this weekend.

    In other news, volleyball locked up the Big 12 championship last night with a win over Iowa State

    Why don't they take that TD off the board for a hold on 90?
