Penn State's James Franklin vs. Texas QB Arch Manning: Who Will Move First?

Few college football figures face as much pressure as Penn State's head coach James Franklin and Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning. A FOX Sports analyst, Mark Ingram, discussed the likelihood of either changing teams soon during "Big Noon Kickoff."

Ingram suggested that Franklin might be the first to move on due to Penn State's recent struggles, including losses to top-ranked teams and being unranked after a defeat by UCLA. Franklin, in his 12th season at Penn State, holds a 104-44 record and previously reached the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Meanwhile, Texas Longhorns, who also reached the College Football Playoff semifinals last season, are now unranked with a 3-2 record. Manning, a standout recruit in the Class of 2023, is in his debut season as the Longhorns' starting quarterback, showcasing both passing and rushing skills.

Manning faced challenges in recent games, including interceptions and lower completion rates. Penn State is set to play Northwestern, while Texas will face the Oklahoma Sooners in the upcoming games.
