  "account": "In a recent interview, ESPN's Skip Bayless dismissed Texas quarterback Arch Manning's skills, comparing him unfavorably to NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning. Manning has led Texas to a 3-0 start, throwing for 661 yards and seven touchdowns, including a fourth-quarter comeback against Ohio State. However, Bayless expressed his nervousness about Manning's accuracy, stating that the young QB \"makes me nervous\" at times. Bayless noted that Manning's performance fluctuates, with his good moments being exceptional but his bad moments being \"scary bad.\" The ESPN analyst pointed out Manning's body language on the sideline, which he felt undermined his capabilities in comparison to his famous predecessors. Despite Texas being heavily favored to beat Tennessee, Bayless remains skeptical about Manning's ability to consistently perform at the high level he expects from a Manning.",
  "summary": "Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns have started their season 3-0 with some impressive performances in the early going. However, Skip Bayless doesn’t trust the young QB.",
