The season is still a few months away, but there are plenty of opinions about how Arch Manning will fare as the new starting quarterback at the University of Texas. The media and fans got a glimpse of Manning in 2024, but projecting two and a half games of play as a fill in into the 2025 season can be tricky.
Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt is out with his top five quarterbacks for the upcoming season. Manning is on his list and is the only QB mentioned that doesn't have a season as a starter under his belt.
So where does Klatt rank the new kid on the block? Klatt ranks Manning as the No. 2 QB in college football. He ranks two-year starter Cade Klubnik of Clemson as the top QB in college. "Dabo Swinney has a quarterback that could lead them to a national championship," Klatt said.
As for Manning, the former Colorado QB thinks Manning has all the tools to have a huge year for the Longhorns.
"I just don't see a world that Arch doesn't succeed at Texas. He's got the pedigree. The games that we did see him play we saw a guy that can put the defense in conflict. We're talking about with his legs and the ability to stretch the defense with his arm. So he can throw the ball down the field and threaten every single blade of grass on the field, but he can also put edge defenders in conflict and be one of the better running quarterbacks that we saw last year. In a lot of ways he reminds me and those that I work with of Trevor Lawrence. Arch at Texas with Sark and all those pieces around him I think he's going to have a tremendous year." - Joel Klatt of Fox Sports

Dallas Wings Coach Issues Concerning Statement Amid Paige Bueckers' Injury Absence
Dallas Wings Coach Issues Concerning Statement Amid Paige Bueckers' Injury Absence originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Wings are in action on Tuesday when they take on the Seattle Storm in a road matchup. Advertisement The Wings are looking to avoid their third straight loss and their seventh defeat in eight games played so far this season, but they will need to try to do so without Paige Bueckers in the mix. The highly touted rookie is set to miss her second straight contest on Tuesday after being placed under the league's concussion protocol. Bueckers suffered a head injury, which forced her to sit out Dallas' 94-83 loss to Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday. Wings head coach Chris Kolcanes spoke to reporters ahead of Tuesday's matchup, and the Dallas shot-caller had a concerning statement about the team's backcourt situation. According to Kolcanes, "there really is no point guard active right now" for the squad. Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers celebrates during a game.© Jordan Godfree-Imagn Images ' JJ [Quinerly] off the bench is really our only true point guard," he said, via Wings beat reporter Myah Taylor. "… She really hasn't been a point guard since high school,' Koclanes said. Advertisement It is also worth noting that Quinerly, the Wings' second-round pick from the 2025 WNBA Draft, has averaged just 5.0 minutes off the bench in five appearances this season. Apart from Bueckers, the Wings are also missing the services of veteran guard Tyasha Harris, who is sitting out her third straight game on Tuesday due to a lingering left knee injury. The silver lining for Dallas is that Bueckers is set to be reevaluated after Tuesday's game. The Wings are hoping to clear her from the concussion protocol for her potential return to the court on Friday against the Los Angeles Sparks.

Lindy's College Football preview magazine ranks Notre Dame football inside its top-10
Notre Dame will be favored in every one of its games this upcoming football season according to DraftKings Sportsbook, but one publication does not have the Fighting Irish in its College Football Playoff projections. Following a season in which the Irish set a program record for wins on their way to the national championship game, Lindy's Sports released its preseason college football preview magazine and ranked the Irish No. 6 nationally. Certainly a solid ranking, and the same spot Athlon Sports slotted the Irish in its preseason magazine, but Lindy's has Ohio State, LSU, Oregon, Alabama, Georgia, Miami and SMU earning at-large CFP bids and not Notre Dame. Advertisement From the magazine: "We'll know early if Notre Dame's playoff expectation is warranted when the Irish play Miami, Texas A&M and Arkansas in the first four weeks. With only six players drafted, Notre Dame returns the wealth of a squad that was a few plays away from winning it all." - Lindy's Sports The Notre Dame defensive line and linebacker corps failed to make the Top 10 in Lindy's unit rankings, which is quite debatable. The magazine is also concerned about the quarterback situation, where either redshirt freshman CJ Carr or redshirt sophomore Kenny Minchey will be taking the first snap in the season opener at Miami Labor Day weekend. Despite the playoff snub from Lindy's, though, it's clear that national college football observers are bullish on the Irish to remain a national contender in 2025 and beyond.
