Will Howard’s Buckeyes took down Archie’s grandson, Arch Manning, in the College Football Playoff semifinal on Friday.

Arch had one run for eight yards, converting on fourth down in the second quarter, but that was all the action he saw in the loss.
With starting quarterback Quinn Ewers potentially going to the NFL, Manning could end up starting for the Longhorns next season.
As for Leonard and Notre Dame, they took down Penn State 27-24 after an eventful fourth quarter.
The Manning Passing Academy has clearly helped both Leonard and Howard.
While Leonard threw two interceptions in the win, he did enough to take down Penn State as he threw for 235 yards and a touchdown, while rushing the ball for 35 yards and a touchdown as well.
For Ohio State, Howard threw for 289 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the win that included a big fourth down conversion on a quarterback run in the fourth quarter.
The two roommates from the Manning Passing Academy will face off against each other on Jan. 20, at 7:30 p.m. ET.
