Arch Manning doesn’t have very much to prove to anyone as one of the most highly touted high school quarterbacks in recent memory, but his latest feat of greatness will only add to his legend.
After trailing Benton (La.) High by 18 points in the first half, the senior Texas commit led his Isidore Newman squad to an insane comeback victory on Friday night in New Orleans. His team scored 33 points in the third quarter to erase the deficit and ultimately win the high-scoring affair, 54–52.
Among the highlights of Manning’s second half was a sensational throw on fourth-and-13.
4th and 13? No problem.
