Archie Manning: Nicholls State renovations ensuring Manning Passing Academy unaffected by storm

THIBODAUX -- Archie Manning was a little worried Monday night about how Tropical Storm Cindy would impact the 22nd annual Manning Passing Academy.

With more than 1,200 kids from around the U.S. scheduled to visit the Thibodaux area, Manning was nervous about some parents seeing the forecast and skipping the trip.

"All I saw when I was scrolling through the weather on my phone, it was just like a big lightning bolt and a bunch of clouds," USC quarterback Sam Darnold said Friday.

By the time camp started Thursday at Nicholls State University, the fields were just fine despite all the rain.
