A big football weekend is on tap in Texas. On Saturday, Arch Manning will make his first start for No. 1 Texas as the Longhorns host Louisiana-Monroe. And on Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys look to rebound from last week's blowout loss to New Orleans. Bonnie-Jill Laflin of 98.7 The Spot joined Mike Rogers and Austin York to preview all of it.

Make way for another superstar with the last name Manning. Arch Manning will make his first start for the #1 Texas Longhorns on Saturday. The quarterback is taking over for Quinn Ewers, who suffered an oblique injury in last week's game. In that 56-to-7 win against U-T-S-A, Arch came in during the second quarter and led the team to five touchdowns. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian tells us that the young Manning is ready to start this week for the team.

Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia will retire from law enforcement and take a civilian role in Austin. The news comes just months after the city of Dallas agreed to ensure that Garcia stayed among the state's highest-paid police chiefs and to give him a $10,000 retention bonus every six months. Jaime Castro, president of the Dallas Police Association, which represents the city's officers, joined KRLD Friday morning with his reaction.

Before we travel and gather for the holidays, public health leaders want everybody to get a new vaccine that is now available. Dr Jason Bowling with the University of Texas Health System says this is not a booster shot.

He says COVID keeps evolving. And research is keeping up. These shots get the same testing as any other vaccine, meaning they're safe. This one is still free and widely available.
