Welcome to an instant reaction edition of Andy and Orion 3 presented by BetMGM.

And we are at the Cotton Bowl where Texas players are getting a gold hat right now.

Is that real gold?

I believe it is real gold.

This is everything's golder in Texas.

Man, okay.

So not that entertaining of a game, but I think a revelatory one.

Well, a lot happened.

There's a lot going on.

There's a lot to process from this game because we came into this thinking Oklahoma could

knock Texas out of the college football playoff.

Oklahoma could set itself up for a CFP run.

Now, Texas is still alive.

Yes.

Life support, but still alive. And showed a lot of promise for the rest of the season because you saw some of the issues that had played the

offensive line early in the game. You saw Arch Manning deal with those effectively. You saw

the line get better as the game went on. Yeah. Yeah, Andy, I think you made the

right point in the middle of the game. And I think that it's very easy to pile on Archmanning. This isn't a discussion or re-litigation about whether or not he's lived up to the hype. But I thought he played a really functionally good game. He played a great game with what he was dealing with. Because he was dealing with a ton of pressure early on and he didn't create any

disasters. He didn't make. great game with what he was dealing with because he was dealing with a ton of pressure early on

and he didn't create any disasters he didn't make it any worse and in fact got them out of trouble

a bunch of times and then as the blocking got better the offense got better i think i think

steasarkisian called a better game for arch than he has where there was a lot of quick game
