They wanted a big kickoff weekend so they scheduled some primetime games. Not great for the schools involved but makes sense to do considering they start a week before NFL.

Arch will bounce back. I don’t think he is coming out after this season anyways.

I bet we are going to see lots more of this given new unlimited transfer rules + direct revenue sharing with student athletes.

These programs now are incentivized to create big media events to get some Day 1 income to pay for their hot new transfers.

Also the 12 team playoff makes regular season less important

Will he though? Like he looked completely overwhelmed against NFL level talent

He is 21 years old. I am sure he will get better. Didn't Peyton Manning throw 4 picks in his first NFL game?

Yeah on a bad Indy team. Texas is stacked marginal play from Manning and Texas wins.

Plus all the hype around him and you come out with a dud like that it’s absolutely terrible. We have to ask ourselves are we elevating Arch because of his last name or his actual play on the field ?

In spot duty and a few starts. Now he’s the guy all the pressure is on him.

I do laugh at the Aflec kickoff game being the Tennessee vs Syracuse game lol
