Texas quarterback Arch Manning led the Longhorns on a stunning comeback against Ohio State in Austin on Saturday, which further proves his NFL potential.
For Mannign in particular, this win sounded downright cathartic. In his postgame interview with ESPN's Laura Rutledge, Manning pointed out last year's Ohio State game and the "nightmares" he had about that game in particular.

Good for Arch. Also, his postgame interview went much better than his coach's did. That's for sure!
