for this matchup, the HC made it clear that they will need support from everyone to defeat Ryan Day’s team.

While they have shown great form throughout the season, led not only by Quinn Ewers but also by Arch Manningwhen called upon, it’s well known that the upcoming matchup against Will Howard’s team will be far from easy, especially after their solid win over the undefeated Oregon Ducks.
