Paul Finebaum Makes Arch Manning Heisman Prediction
SEC analyst Paul Finebaum is predicting that Arch Manning will win the Heisman Trophy Award before he leaves Texas and moves on to the National Football League.
Appeared on the Matt Barrie Show Sunday, Finebaum expressed confidence in the young quarterback’s chances of hoisting the prestigious trophy at some point down the line.
“He’s gonna win,” Finebaum said.
Though some oddsmakers have placed him as the sixth-most likely winner of the Heisman this year, Manning won’t be winning it for as long as Quinn Ewers is still on the roster and healthy. Ewers left Saturday’s win against UT-San Antonio with a strained abdomen but is reportedly expected to be “week to week” with the injury.
He gave a performance for the ages as he accounted for five touchdowns in less than three quarters of work. He completed 9 of-12 passes or 223 yards for four touchdowns. He also had a 67-yard touchdown run.
Manning will get anoither opportunity to run the offense on his own this Saturday when Texas hosts Louisiana Monroe, Ewers, who entered the season as one of the Heisman betting favorites, is expected to be out for the game.
“I mean, I don’t think they look any different,” Finebaum said. “Now, I’m sure, the old timers will say – not that I am a new timer – ‘Hey, that experience of Quinn Ewers.” But Arch Manning looks like he’s been around and I think Texas is in great shape.”
Former Oklahoma quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and Caleb WIlliams were both in a similar predicament, Finebaum said.
“As I remember, Spencer Rattler, wasn’t he the Heisman favorite going into the season? And he got replaced by Caleb WIlliams. So, I mean it’s happened before,” Finebaum said, “But, I am sure Sark will figure this out.
“It doesn’t matter. Texas doesn’t have much on their dance card until we get to October, so they are in good shape.”
Texas and Louisiana Monroe will kick off at 8 p.m. on Saturday night at DKR Stadium. The game will be available for streaming on ESPN+.

AUSTIN, Texas — Following a controversial deportation involving a 5-year-old, Austin City Council members and the city’s police chief will hold a community conversation to discuss the police department’s immigration policies.
On Thursday, Feb. 5, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis, Mayor Pro Tem José “Chito” Vela and Councilmembers Vanessa Fuentes and José Velásquez will host a community conversation on “APD’s policies that impact our immigrant community.” It was originally scheduled for Jan. 26, but it was moved due to icy roads.
The discussion is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. at Govalle Elementary Cafeteria, 3601 Govalle Ave. Spanish interpretation services will be provided. Those interested in attending virtually can RSVP here to receive a Zoom link.
This comes after an Austin mother and her 5-year-old child were deported after the mother called 911 from her home. APD officers called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on the mother after seeing an “administrative warrant” in a federal database. Following the incident, Austin City Council members released a statement condemning the actions of APD, and APD said they would update their ICE policy.
Nationwide, protests have erupted due to the actions of ICE officials, mainly in Minneapolis, Minn., where incidents like the detention of a father and his 5-year-old son to an immigration facility in Dilley, Texas, and the killings of Renee Nicole Good and VA nurse Alex Pretti by ICE officers have enraged residents.
In response to Pretti’s killing on Saturday, the Austin Immigrant Rights AC will hold a protest on Tuesday, Jan. 27, at 5:30 p.m. at the Texas Capital south entrance. The group had previously held a protest in early January after Good was killed.
