Texas needs to win games this fall to prove it's the right fit for Arch Manning

There may still be a surprise or two as the recruitment of bluechip quarterback Arch Manning nears the finish line, but it seems more and more likely as the weeks pass that he’ll play college football at either Georgia, Alabama or Texas.

If Manning is taking recent success and proven ability to win a national title into account, one of those programs is clearly not like the other. And yet, if you read between the lines on Manning’s recent comments, Texas — yes, eternally underwhelming Texas — is undoubtedly in a great position.
