Will Howard's Buckeyes defeated Archie's grandson, Arch Manning, in the College Football Playoff semifinals on Friday.
The Buckeyes defeated the Longhorns 28-14, but the Longhorns' comeback attempt ended with defensive end Jack Sawyer stripping Quinn Ewers, picking up a fumble and scoring an 83-yard touchdown to end the game. I decided.
Arch converted on fourth down in the second quarter and had one run for 8 yards, but that was all he saw in the loss.
Manning could start for the Longhorns next season, as starting quarterback Quinn Ewers could leave for the NFL.
Leonard and Notre Dame defeated Penn State 27-24 after an eventful fourth quarter.
The Manning Passing Academy clearly helped both Leonard and Howard.
Leonard had two interceptions in the win, but threw for 235 yards and a touchdown and rushed the ball for 35 yards and a touchdown, good enough to beat Penn State. Ta.
Ohio State's Howard threw for 289 yards with a touchdown and an interception, including a big fourth down conversion on a quarterback run in the fourth quarter, leading to the win.
The two Manning Passing Academy roommates will face off on January 20th at 7:30pm ET.
