You Da Manning

Eli's Coming
As Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has another stellar season, his little brother, Eli, is struggling as a rookie signal-caller for the Giants. If their college careers are any indication, Eli's time will come. At Ole Miss, Eli had 118 touchdowns (passing and rushing), the second most in SEC history and 17 more than his brother had at Tennessee. Who is the one man with more SEC touchdowns than Eli?

a. Tim Couch c. Pat Sullivan

b. Jared Lorenzen d. Danny Wuerffel

Real Studs
The Mannings' dad, Archie, ended his NFL career with the Vikings in 1984. Another player on that team has two sons who are now NFL quarterbacks. Who is he?

b. Billy Cannon Sr. and Jr.

c. Steve and Keith DeLong
