Another SEC coordinator chimed in to say Manning "can absolutely rip it, like velocity, accuracy." He went 17-of-30 for 170 yards, one touchdown and an interception in a 14-7 road loss to Ohio State. Even accounting for how much talent the Buckeyes had on a loaded defense, Manning looked shaky and unsure of himself at times. Manning and the Longhorns should also benefit from having a tune-up game before they welcome Ohio State to Austin. Texas hosts Texas State in its opener on Sept. 5.
