The 3 Biggest Winners and Losers of Week 3: Heisman and Playoff contenders' stumble

Winner: Members of the Arch Manning fan club

On Saturday night, Quinn Ewers went down with an injury, and for most contenders, this would've been a major red flag. Not at Texas, however, as the fanbase was ecstatic to see Arch Manning in extended playing time with the starters. In the two games he's appeared in, Manning has completed 14 of his 18 attempts for 318 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for two more touchdowns. Quinn Ewers will seemingly miss next weekend's game meaning we'll see Arch Manning as a starter for the first time next week. The first start for Manning will hit an even crazier level as he'll be leading the newly minted top team in the country as Texas overtook Georgia for the top ranking.

Loser: Mark Stoops

During Kentucky versus Georgia, the Wildcats fought all night and put themselves in a great position to knock off the Nation's top-ranked team. Late in the fourth quarter, Kentucky found themselves in a fourth and eight from Georgia's 47 yard line. Given the fact that there was just about three minutes left on the clock everyone assumed Stoops would go for it however, he chose to punt it away.

The Bulldogs would burn 2:49 seconds off the clock before they punted away the football leaving Kentucky with just nine seconds on the clock. The Wildcats picked up a first down but, couldn't get the hook and ladder going and lost the game. It's hard to defend Stoops' decision as he had a shot to win this game but, couldn't muster up the courage to go for the win.
