It was a bad day to be a 5-star QB: Arch Manning, Dylan Raiola and others struggle
It wasn't the best week for several former five-star quarterbacks.
Week 6 of college football proved to be a challenging one for former five-star quarterbacks. Arch Manning of Texas, Dylan Raiola of Oregon, Nico Iamaleava of UCLA, and Jared Curtis of Vanderbilt all struggled, contributing to their teams' losses on Saturday.
Manning, the former five-star quarterback, had two costly interceptions in the fourth quarter for Texas, which fell 27-24 to Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. His first interception was returned for a pick-six, tying the game at 24. His last interception helped set up the Sooner victory.
Oregon's second loss of the season came against UCLA, as head coach Dan Lanning even benched Raiola, who was starting for an injured Dante Moore. Raiola threw two interceptions and lost a fumble during his time in the game.
UCLA's Nico Iamaleava also had two interceptions in the first half, both coming after he took a big hit just before halftime. He returned to the game later but was injured and did not return to the sideline in pads. Oregon's backup Ty Dieffenbach threw a touchdown pass but also fumbled, setting up Oregon's first touchdown.
Vanderbilt's Jared Curtis took on Ole Miss at home, where he had three turnovers, including two interceptions and a fumble. Despite throwing for 222 yards and a touchdown, Vanderbilt lost 52-17 to Ole Miss.
