"Couple Guys Done Beat Him Already" ULM DC Earnest Hill Is Talking His Shit Before Facing Texas As A 44.5 Point Underdog

ULM defensive coordinator Earnest Hill didn't hold back when asked about facing Arch Manning. Bold strategy for a team coming in as a 44.5-point underdog. Sure, they might have "already done beat him" back in high school, but this isn't New Orleans high school football anymore—this is Texas. As in the number one team in the country, Texas. Texas, as in the team that's beating their opponents by an average of 40 points per game.

Look, I get it. You know, and I know, that ULM has no real shot at winning this game. So, you're trying to do anything and everything to make your players believe they have a chance. But calling out Arch Manning—a guy who threw five touchdowns in his first college game? Probably not the best move.

Manning isn't just some high school phenom anymore. He's part of a Texas team that's rolling over its competition. Taking a jab at him, especially when your team is such a massive underdog, feels like a recipe for disaster. Sure, you want to rally your guys and create some kind of spark, but let's be real: if you mess with the bull you get the horn.

Hill's comments might get his team fired up, but they're also giving Manning and Texas even more motivation to lay down a serious beating. I'm talking belt to ass type of beating. One of those poundings that your neighbors upstairs can hear.
