[Baron]

Arch, Taaffe and Hutson are all listed as questionable. Woo hoo.

We are incredibly confident that both Arch Manning and Michael Taaffe will play tomorrow.

Is it medically safe for Arch to play this soon after a concussion?

Is it medically safe for Arch to play this soon after a concussion?

If the doctors say so. If they think he is over it then they let him play, if not they will sit him. Its up to the medical team which is impartial

It's good that he is going through the protocol quickly,. Hopefully they are super conservative with the decision process, definitely not worth rushing things.

Caldwell sounds plenty capable, so if Arch isn't 1000% ready then Caldwell should start.

The doctors won't release him unless he is 100% recovered.

I'm not a doctor, or pretending to know the situation, but it seems to me that he could be symptom free, but still be at at an elevated risk of another concussion. I assume the doctors have good insights into any risks, and will error on the side of safety.

If the medical staff says so, it is. Burton termed the concussion as "slight."

I expect to see him play Saturday.

This is a headline that I saw, “YouTube TV, Disney dispute may impact how you watch the Texas vs Vanderbilt game”. I hope they settle.

As of today, ESPN, ABC, etc. are off the air on YouTube TV.

I have an ESPN app that I will use to watch the game.

I imagine there will be a pow-wow between Arch, Cooper and Sark this evening.

 

[Baron]

If Arch is cleared today I hope Sark takes him off of the injury report this evening even if it is decided he won't play.

 

[HornSports Staff]

Also expect to see a little different look on the OL. Cole Hutson will likely start at LG with Robertson playing center.

I was going to watch the replay at my sisters house. She has youtube TV.
