3 Stars of the Game vs. Arkansas

***

 

Star No. 1: QB Arch Manning

Without question, the Texas quarterback gets the nod for player of the game. This is also the third time in four weeks where Manning was my player of the game. Manning collected six total touchdowns and threw for a career high 389 passing yards as the offense had one of its best days of the year.

 

Star No. 2: WR DeAndre Moore

Three receptions, three touchdowns for DeAndre Moore. Add 76 yards to the tally as well, and that is a heck of a day. Whether it was winning in one-on-ones, or getting open in the scramble drill, Moore had a heck of a day.

 

Star No. 3: EDGE Colin Simmons

I almost can't find three stars of the day without the inclusion of both Simmons and Manning. But I am sure Texas fans will take that exact trade off. A strip sack that resulted in a fumble recovery for touchdown was the highlight of the day, but Simmons also added six pressures on the quarterback and is now over 10 sacks on the season.

 

HM1: Trevor Goosby had a clean sheet on the pass pro front. 36 pass pro snaps, zero pressures or hurries allowed.

HM2: Two catches for 104 yards and a TD, plus a passing touchdown. It was quite the afternoon for Livingstone.

 

 

 

While I won’t disagree with your choices I have a hard time not knocking Moore out of the top 3 due to the ignorant choice of bringing that punt out of the end zone, for the second time this year. 

Wasn’t that Niblett?

No, it was Moore.
