Arch Manning is set to make his debut as the Texas Longhorns' starting quarterback this year. After the past two seasons as a backup, there is a lot of hype surrounding his journey as Steve Sarkisian's QB1.The Longhorns joined the SEC conference last year and competed for the title under Quinn Ewers. However, they lost to Georgia in the final and made it to the Cotton Bowl semifinal showdown in the playoffs, where they lost to Ohio State. However, with Manning at the helm, some experts and analysts predict them to be the SEC champions and potential natty contenders.However, Kirk Herbstreit had another SEC team on his radar as an underdog. On Tuesday, he made an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" and said the Florida Gators are his "surprise team" to enjoy success this upcoming season."Surprise team is Florida," Herbstreit said via AthlonSports.com. "I think DJ Lagway, if he's healthy, I was so impressed with him last year. We've talked about that, how their coach was (all but) fired."They started off slow and then, you know, I think they won four of their last five or five of their last six. And the only loss that he had was when he got injured as a starter against Georgia. So I'm going to go with Florida," he added.Last season, head coach Billy Napied helped the Gators to an 8-5 record in his third stint with the team. They also managed to secure a 33-8 victory over Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl.Arch Manning shares bold warning ahead of Week 1 showdown against Ohio StateLast season, Arch Manning gave fans a glimpse of his dual-threat talent as Quinn Ewers's backup.
