Arch Manning and Dante Moore come out firing, more Week 1 NFL Draft reactions

The first full Saturday of the 2026 college football season offered mostly steady results, but it provided early looks at projected top prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft class. Analysts Dane Brugler and Nick Baumgardner focused on Arch Manning and Dante Moore as the quarterbacks drawing the most NFL scrutiny this fall. Manning showed pocket movement, anticipation, and mental/physical toughness, and Texas State was a starter test followed by a bigger challenge next Saturday at Ohio State in Austin. Moore faced tougher competition from Boise State, kept improving as the game moved on, and distributed the ball effectively amid new Oregon play-calling and offensive-line personnel changes.
