Nick Saban Issues Warning for Arch Manning Ahead of Texas-Tennessee Clash
Nick Saban warned Texas and Arch Manning about what to watch out for in their visit to Knoxville to face SEC foe Tennessee.
Nick Saban, now an ESPN analyst, cautioned Texas Longhorns fans about facing a challenging SEC environment when they visit Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday. The Longhorns, who are currently No. 1 in the polls, will face a team that has only given up two plus-20 yard passing plays in two games but has allowed numerous explosive runs, averaging 298.7 rushing yards per game.
Saban believes Texas' offense may struggle to control the clock and may need to rely on running the ball more effectively, especially since their quarterback, Arch Manning, has struggled with deep passing down the field this season. The Vols defense, currently ranked fourth in the nation with 298.7 yards rushed per game, could pressure Manning and limit the Longhorns' passing game. Meanwhile, Texas' top running back, Hollywood Smothers, is expected to play against Tennessee.
