It's the Texas Longhorns against the Michigan Wolverines, and it'll feature two of the best quarterback recruits in recent memory.

Michigan has true freshman Bryce Underwood, whose shocking flip to the Wolverines during the recruiting process was major news in the college football world.

And Texas, of course, has Arch Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli. He's in his first full season starting, too.
