It captured everything they’d want out of Soto for years to come, if they can win his sweepstakes once free agency arrives. There are plenty of reasons why Brian Cashman traded for Soto, and his ability to meet the moment — and do it over and over and over again — remains near the top of the list.

Both turnovers led to 14 Georgia points.With the Longhorns trailing 20–0, Sarkisian had seen enough, replacing Ewers with redshirt freshman star quarterback Arch Manning with 4:43 to play in the second quarter.Manning played admirably earlier this season when Ewers missed time due to an abdominal strain. Entering Saturday night, Manning had completed 70.5% of his passes for…
