SEE IT: Arch Manning uncle Peyton Manning watches sideline at Georgia matchup

ATHENS, Ga. — While Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns prepare for their first trip to Athens to face the Georgia Bulldogs, the freshman quarterback won’t just have the attention of a sold-out Sanford Stadium. He’ll have the entire country watching as well.

Saturday’s matchup comes on the heels of YouTube TV and Disney resolving their carriage dispute, restoring access to ESPN and clearing the way for a massive national audience to tune in. And the spotlight only grew brighter pregame when Manning’s uncle, Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, was seen on the sideline ahead of kickoff.

With the broadcast issues resolved and a Manning family icon watching from a few feet away, all eyes will be on Arch as he leads the Longhorns into one of college football’s toughest environments.
