"Thank goodness my Dad writes his name after he sends me a text.  – Eli," Manning posted to X. 

While exposing his dad’s text habits to the world, Manning also provided Archie’s anecdote about the  upcoming national championship game

Will Howard’s Buckeyes took down Archie’s grandson, Arch Manning, in the College Football Playoff semifinal on Friday. 

The Buckeyes beat the Longhorns 28-14, with the Longhorn’s comeback attempt thwarted by defensive end Jack Sawyer when he stripped Quinn Ewers and picked up the fumble for an 83-yard touchdown, sealing the game.

Arch had one run for eight yards, converting on fourth down in the second quarter, but that was all the action he saw in the loss. 

With starting quarterback Quinn Ewers potentially going to the NFL, Manning could end up starting for the Longhorns next season. 

As for Leonard and Notre Dame, they took down Penn State 27-24 after an eventful fourth quarter. 

The Manning Passing Academy has clearly helped both Leonard and Howard.

While Leonard threw two interceptions in the win, he did enough to take down Penn State as he threw for 235 yards and a touchdown, while rushing the ball for 35 yards and a touchdown as well. 

For Ohio State, Howard threw for 289 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the win that included a big fourth down conversion on a quarterback run in the fourth quarter.

The two roommates from the Manning Passing Academy will face off against each other on Jan. 20, at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Ohio State quarterback Will Howard's unusual-looking hand injury sparks concern on social media

Ohio State quarterback Will Howard says his non-throwing hand is "fine" after fans on social media couldn’t help but notice a rather unusual-looking lump on his hand during the Buckeyes' win over Texas in the Cotton Bowl on Friday night. 

Howard, 23, appeared to sustain an injury to his left hand during the first half of the game.

CBS Sports reported that the knot on his hand formed after he appeared to hit his hand on the helmet of a Longhorns player. 

Social media erupted over the bizarre-looking injury as the lump seemed to grow larger. 

ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe said during the broadcast that Howard did not receive any treatment for the lump during that game. After Ohio State’s victory, ESPN’s Jake Trotter reported that Howard told him his hand is "just fine."

Howard was 24-of-33 passing for 289 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Now in his first season with the Buckeyes after entering the transfer portal last season, Howard has given Ohio State a chance to win its first national title in over a decade. 

The Buckeyes will take on Notre Dame in the national championship game on Jan. 20 in Atlanta.

JD Vance jokes about skipping inauguration to watch Ohio State in title game

Vice President-elect JD Vance, a proud Ohio State alumnus, said back in August that this Buckeyes team might be "the best" he’s seen in some time. That will easily be settled when Ohio State takes on Notre Dame in the national championship game later this month, and Vance wants to be there to see it. 

There’s just one slight complication.

President-elect Donald Trump and Vance will officially take office on Jan. 20 – the same day as the title game. 

"Hopefully everyone is cool with me skipping the inauguration so I can go to the national title game," Vance joked in a post on social media.

The former Ohio senator then posted a meme in response to his own post on X with his two options: "Attend your own inauguration" or "Go watch the Buckeyes win a national title."

The Buckeyes will have the chance to battle for the program’s first national title since 2014 after they defeated Texas in the Cotton Bowl on Thursday night. Meanwhile, Notre Dame, who defeated Penn State in the Orange Bowl on Wednesday, is on the hunt for its 12th overall title and its first since 1988. 

Vance will be rooting for his Buckeyes in Washington as Trump is sworn in to a second term in the White House.
