CFB Week 1 recap: Arch Manning struggles, Garrett Nussmeier thrives, and Rueben Bain wreaks havoc

College football Week 1 is in the books, and the 2026 NFL Draft storylines are already heating up! In this video, we break down all the biggest performances and NFL Draft implications from the first full week of the college football season. Arch Manning and Texas faced a tough test against Ohio State, and we dive into his struggles, what it means for his NFL Draft stock, and whether he can bounce back moving forward. On the other side, LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier thrived in his debut as the full-time starter, showing poise, arm talent, and decision-making that could push him into the early-round NFL Draft conversation. We also highlight Miami defensive end Rueben Bain, who completely wreaked havoc in Week 1 with a disruptive, dominant performance that scouts will be paying close attention to throughout the season. Beyond these stars, we take a closer look at other risers, fallers, and standout players who shaped early narratives for the 2026 NFL Draft. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
