Hey everyone, Payton here, intern with On Texas Football, back with another By the Numbers.

Arch Manning has made six starts past Nov. 1 in his career, and the numbers in those games look like a completely different quarterback.

In those six starts he has 18 total touchdowns and one interception. That is 14 passing and four rushing, with 1,864 total yards, a 64.3% completion rate and 311 yards per game. Texas is 5-1 in those games.

The gap from early season Arch is huge. In 16 starts before Nov. 1 over the last two years, his average QBR is 57.0. From Nov. 1 on, it is 86.3. He has topped a 90 QBR once in those 16 early starts and four times in the six late ones. He also has 13 interceptions before Nov. 1 and one after.

It is not just good by his own standards. Per ESPN, Arch has the No. 1 QBR in all of FBS over that late season span.

Here is how it breaks down game by game. Three touchdowns against Vanderbilt. One at Georgia. Five against Arkansas. Two against Texas A&M. Four against Michigan in the Citrus Bowl. Three last week at Missouri.

The one interception came at Georgia, which is also the only loss. In the five wins he has 17 touchdowns and has not thrown a pick.

That brings us to Saturday. LSU comes in with 36 sacks, third most in the country, so this is the toughest pass rush he has seen in one of these late season starts.

Does Arch keep the late season run going in Baton Rouge? And is this stretch enough to call him the best finisher in college football?

I’m in hell knowing how much we are jinxing Arch by pushing all this Mr. November stuff. We’ve got Bianco and multiple outlets on this. We’re setting him up for failure this weekend. It’s all Kyle Flood’s fault too
