My take is Manning is the most prepared freshman QB ever. No need to red ahirt him as will be here three years.

He will be the #2 QB. IMO Murphy is not the pocket passer Sark prefers. In the right system he could be a Cam or Vince type QB.
I disagree on Murphy. Kid plays very well in the pocket and has an arm as strong as Chris Simms was. I think he's in the right system. Being able to run well is just a bonus.

 
Time will tell on Murphy. I thought (poor memory at times) he had quite a good number of running yds. in HS.

I agree we don't need to redshirt him but I also think he doesn't play in more than 4 games unless there is a major injury to QE.

He and Murphy should get to play as much a posslble as this will be Ewers last year proably.

If this team is as good as a lot of the gurus think, should be plenty of playing time for all backups.

 
Manning wants to Redshirt. That is the plan. If Quinn gets hurt he will play but other than that he will get mop up duty.

Murphy has never shown any ability to scramble and run in HS or showcases. Not sure where that idea came from. Plus he still has nagging foot injuries that make him running even less likely

Quinn is your starter. Archibald is the backup. Maalik will run 3rd if healthy. There is no competition. Just some coach speak. Don't fall for click bait and headline writing.

I hope Manning gets at leas4 opportunities for mop up duty..if more, it really doesn't matter if he burns the red shirt. He certainly doesn't need 5 seasons of college ball. 

 
247 reporting S&C coach Torre Becton has an offer on the table from the Buffalo Bills, but sounds like he wants to remain in Austin due to having four daughters and he believes this team is about to break through.

 
It's break through this year or back to the drawing board. I go along with an article I read some time ago, two things need big improvement.

QB play and play calling.

I agree with you....but play calling is contingent on QB play...I still think Sark is the best play caller in CFB, we saw plays last year we have never seen at UT, but the team execution makes play caller look good or bad..if there is one thing I believe that I learned from Bryan Harsin is that the passing game opens up the running game, and the running game eats up the clock

There was too many long pass playes on first down that was incomplete. Due to poor passes ora broke hand. How long does it take for one to see this is not working, and is putting team in a hole for second down.

Play calling is also knowing what is working and what isnot.
