The Louisiana-Monroe defense apparently isn't sweating the possibility of facing Texas quarterback Arch Manning on Saturday.

"We actually have some kids on our team who played against him in New Orleans, and a couple guys done beat him already," defensive coordinator Earnest Hill told reporters Wednesday when referencing Manning's high school career at Isidore Newman School. "So, they don't hold too much fear against him. They're not gonna hold any fear against him coming up here."

Hill didn't diminish the redshirt freshman's reputation, though, citing his family connections and the extent to which he has been groomed to be a quarterback for a long time.
