Texas: Dan Orlovsky: Arch Manning is best QB in America.
Ohio State · Texas · Texas State“He’s so physically talented that last year he would get away with it. Moving in the pocket to his left, ball is perfect.
He’s reading the bottom of the screen go route. If he drives down for the run, he’s got to whip his hips.
It’s across his chest, not swinging open in play lane like he’s throwing a punch with the backside of his hand, and then the touchdown pass is absolutely outrageous. It didn't take long for ESPN's Dan Orlovsky to proclaim Texas QB Arch Manning is the best quarterback in the country.
“Synchronized, and that’s really the story of last year to this year, is he’s in sync, upper body and lower body,” Orlovsky said on Get Up Monday as he broke down film. No. 1, moving in the pocket, wants the set to throw.
