Texas quarterback Arch Manning will return to his home state of Louisiana this Saturday when the Longhorns travel to Baton Rouge to face LSU in Tiger Stadium.

Manning, a New Orleans native and the grandson of legendary New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning, was asked this week about his mentality heading into the matchup and whether playing in Louisiana carries any special meaning.

"Whatever it takes. By any means necessary. We're trying to go 1-0 this week," Manning said.

Despite growing up just over an hour away from Baton Rouge, Manning downplayed any personal significance surrounding his return to Louisiana.

"I really don't have any legacy [at LSU]. I have no family that went to LSU. I'm from New Orleans, which is an hour from Baton Rouge. So there's no real connection, really. It's not about me at all."

Manning and the Longhorns will face Lane Kiffin's Tigers on Saturday in a crucial SEC matchup for both teams.

Kickoff is at 6:30 pm CT on ABC.

Normally I'll go into the games pretty late, but I'm going to make sure I go into the stadium early enough to boo the hell out of Arch.

Despite growing up in New Orleans and going to LSU home games, he seems to have no fondness for LSU. Nice to know where we stand with him and the Mannings.

The Manning family has had this game circled for some time now. Arch is downplaying it but he will be jacked up Saturday night. Don’t kid yourself. If LSU lets this kid have time it could be a long night.

Our pass rush couldn't quite get to Russell. It will get to this dude.

Didn’t sack Russell as much as he should have been, but he was under pressure all game

Arch has never won anything in his entire career from the time he's been at Newman High School until now. Take the name off his back, and he's just another "guy" at QB for Texas.
