Arch Manning, the quarterback of Texas Longhorns, has been given the green light to start this Saturday's game against Vanderbilt after a brief stint in the concussion protocol. The news comes as a relief to fans who were worried that backup Matthew Caldwell would take over the starting role. Manning cleared the concussion protocol on Friday and will now lead his team onto the field for their third consecutive victory.
According to head coach Steve Sarkisian, Manning benefited from an extra day of rest early in the week, which allowed him to recharge both physically and mentally. Despite lobbying with team doctors to practice earlier, Sarkisian confirmed that the extra time was beneficial for Manning's body and mind.
Manning's performance against Mississippi State last weekend was nothing short of impressive, as he completed 29 out of 46 passes for a career-high 346 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. He also added a rushing touchdown to his tally, notching his second 300-yard game of the season and the third of his career.
While Caldwell has been effective in relief appearances this season, with eight completions on eleven attempts for eighty-five yards and a touchdown, it appears that Manning is now back behind the starting lineup. With Vanderbilt awaiting, Manning looks to continue his momentum from the previous week's positive performance.

So Arch Manning is finally good to go? I mean, who needs an extra day of rest when you're clearly on top of your game? 
It's not like he was playing with a hangover or something... 29/46 isn't exactly the most reliable completion rate, but hey, at least the touchdowns are coming. 
And let's be real, Matthew Caldwell is still just a backup. I mean, it's not like we're expecting him to lead the team to a championship anytime soon. 
The fact that Manning gets another chance despite his rough game against Mississippi State says a lot about how much faith Coach Sarkisian has in his star quarterback... 
! It's always something with these athletes...can't they just play already? I mean, I get it, safety first and all that, but come on, 24 hours isn't going to make or break a game. And what's up with the extra day of rest? Is Manning really going to be that much more focused after another night in the hotel room? 
he's been injured like 3 times already and its getting old 
might be interesting to see how he handles starting duties 
hope he keeps leading his team to those wins 
and Caldwell gets some playing time too, not that anyone wants to see him drop back 11 times for 85 yards lol 
346 yards and 3 TDs? that's insane! and now he gets an extra day of rest to recharge? genius move by coach sarkisian 
gotta believe in the man, especially after his performance against mississippi state 
Vanderbilt better bring their A game or mannin gonna crush 'em 
. But glad to hear that extra rest time helped Manning recharge physically and mentally 
. He's on fire right now, completing 29 out of 46 passes last week was mind-blowing 
! Manning's been doing so well this season, it's hard to see him not playing starter, especially with Vanderbilt coming up next. Caldwell has done okay in relief appearances, but I think Manning's the real deal 
. Bring on the Longhorns vs Commodores game Saturday and let's see what Arch Manning can do! 
can't believe Arch Manning just got cleared to start this weekend's game! 
team needs him to keep that winning streak going 
! He was really close to being benched and now he gets a 2nd chance 
He's been on fire lately, like that game against Mississippi State was insane 
. i love how Sarkisian kept it real and said extra rest was the key 2 his success 
... Caldwell was a decent backup, but now we're stuck with an injured QB on the bench 
... Manning's stats are insane, I'll give him that 
... And to make matters worse, Vanderbilt is coming up next, so we're gonna see if Manning can sustain this level of performance 
️ the extra rest must've done him some good, coach Sarkisian made the right call 
now let's see how he'll take on Vanderbilt this weekend 
. Caldwell did okay in relief but I guess Manning is still the man for Texas Longhorns... at least they won't lose any more points 
. I think Manning's growth as a leader and quarterback is what's driving the team's success right now 
. With Vanderbilt coming up, we'll see if he can keep that momentum going...
. If he starts to show any signs of strain, it'll be a nightmare for the team and fans alike
