What type of game do we expect out of Arch against the OSU defense?

Arch Manning is being touted as a Heisman favorite, and basically the second coming of Tim Tebow. I am not sure I buy into the hype.

His stats were decent, 10-61 (67.8%), for 939 yards and 10 TD's. Rushing, he had 25 rushes for 108 yrds and 4 TD's. 

Good right? Let's look closer at his stats. He started two games, one against Louisiana-Monroe (ULM) and the other against the worst team in the FBS, Miss State (MSU). His stats for the season were mainly from those two games. MSU game, 26-31, 325 yards, 2 TD's, 6 rushes, 33 yards and 1 TD. ULM game, 15-29, 258 yards (2 INT's), 1 rush -4 yards. ULM was actually better than MSU. 

At this point we do not know how good he is, but we do know one thing, he was not good enough to start, or split reps with Ewers despite Arch being in his 2nd season at UT. 

Being the #1 player out of HS, he refused to do the post season camps and competitions. people speculated it was because he was not as good as advertised. What do you think? Is he a Hesiman trophy candidate and deserves the hype?

Keep it positive. As always, everybody gets an upvote.
