Speaking alongside George Stoia on “That SEC Podcast” with SEC Mike, Eddie Radosevich delivered a polarizing prediction on Arch Manning.
“There will be a point this year that the internet is abuzz and people out of Austin are wondering if they should bench Arch Manning,” he stated.
It didn’t take long for fans to react to Radosevich’s comments on X. It ranged from the fans agreeing to Radosevich’s prediction to the fans showing outright dismissal to his foreign language.
“Agreed He is not worth the hype,” wrote one supporter of Radosevich’s position.
While another fan countered with:
“Not a hot take. with the media and the fans nowadays, one bad game and people will start chirping.”
“Eddie is spittin’ the truth. Arch is gonna fizzle even before he can sizzle,” commented a fan in agreement.
“Even if you’re down on arch, this is so obviously an attention seeking statement. too many “analysts” are tryna go viral these days,” said a fan.
“Would be amazing. Not gonna happen but damn bold,” said another fan reacting to Radosevich’s comment.
“There is a distinct difference between “bold” and just flat out dumb,” stated a fan calling out the analyst’s “bold” comment.
Kaylee Mansell Questions Arch Manning’s Heisman Expectations Despite Limited Experience
During another episode of “That SEC Podcast”, Kaylee Mansell stressed that Texas has a lot of climbing yet to do, and the team has a more challenging schedule than last season.
“They’ve got some tough games to play, tougher than last year, that’s for sure, with the way that their road schedule is,” she observed. (16:12)
The analyst also felt for Arch Manning and the amount of pressure he has to deal with. Mansell said, recognizing that there is an added layer of weight to carry from owning such a recognizable name in college football.
“I hope that he goes out there and lives up to the expectation that everyone’s placed on him because even though he’s a Manning, like, that’s a lot of pressure to deal with.” (16:03)
For the entire 2024 season, the freshman quarterback appeared in 10 games but only started in 2. The 2024 season for Arch Manning saw him finish with 61-of-90 passes which resulted in 939 yards and 9 touchdowns (2 interceptions).
Manning’s completion percentage was 67.8% and his quarterback rating was 184.0- not bad stats for such a limited opportunity.
Arch Manning’s rushing number adds another perspective to his dual-threat position. His rushing numbers are as follows: 108 yards on 25 attempts for an average of 4.3 yards per carry included his long run of 67 yards for a touchdown – the longest scoring rush by a Texas quarterback since Vince Young in 2005. It certainly showcased a small glimpse as to the potential impact Manning could have as a dual threat quarterback.
