I thought that he had an excellent 2nd half. Texas was trailing by a score of 6-3 at halftime before they dominated both sides of the ball in the 2nd half.
More importantly, there was one play in particular that I believed showed his propensity for being a pro quarterback. On a crucial 3rd down, he had plenty of room to run for the 1st down ...... he instead kept his eyes glued to his receivers and hit one of them for a new set of downs.
Manning has 2 more years of eligibility left to play college ball, and I hope that he uses both of them to continue honing his craft.
