The first Saturday of the 2025 college football season starts with No. 1 Texas on the way to No. 3 Ohio State in a matchup that gets all eyes on, especially on Longhorn’s sidelines.
Arch Manning, nephew of the Super Bowl masters Peyton and Eli Manning, have been much published this season as Texas’ violation will now run through him. The red shirt Sophomore carries high expectations, but a former Longhorn believes he is currently being built.
Bijan Robinson, the Atlanta Falcons star, who runs back, knows what it takes to succeed in Texas, and he is convinced that Manning understands exactly what to do this Saturday and every week afterwards to achieve the ultimate goal of a national title.

“His family, man, he has been around it all his life,” Robinson told Pakinomist Digital, while promoting College Color’s Day, who falls on August 29. “So this moment right here is not too big for him.”
Manning grew up watching his uncles paint through the trials of the NFL – as they saw them fail in hard moments, but also rise to win Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Peyton said earlier this season at “The Pat McAfee Show” that his father, Cooper Manning, prepared Arch to reach this step in his football trip. Like Uncle, Peyton said he has just served as a guide when needed.
“I feel like there is no moment that is too big when you play in Texas,” Robinson said. “The outside world can do it tremendously, but when we are there and on the field, God gave us a gift to go out there and just produce and have fun to do it.

“So with [Manning]I am excited to see what he can do because his confidence is huge and he has been around the game for so long. He has been around the Super Bowls with his uncles and similar things, man. This game does not affect him at all, and I think he is prepared for it and everyone around him is prepared for it. “
Playing in “The Horseshoe” in Columbus, Ohio, can be a scary task, but Robinson is convinced that there will be plenty of Longhorns’ burnt orange in the stands.
“Lucky for us who play in Texas, there will be a lot of Texas fans on that game,” Robinson said with a smile. “You want to see a lot of roasted orange. It’s pretty incredible that we’re traveling so well. We’re the most hated team when we show up in the stadium. It doesn’t matter who we play, they will find a way to hate us. But our fans travel extremely well. There are some games where we have more Texas fans than the home layer.”
These days, Robinson looks out to a sea of red and black when he takes the field in Atlanta. But over the weekend he will restore his old college colors – something he urges all fans to do this Friday.
