Arch Manning's Last‑Second TD Lifts Texas Over LSU, 22‑21

A victory likely to lock Texas into the College Football Playoff as LSU's postseason bid collapses.

Overview

  • Texas won 22-21 on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Arch Manning to Raleek Brown with 3 seconds remaining.
  • Both starting quarterbacks were turnover-prone with Manning and LSU's Sam Leavitt each throwing three interceptions.
  • The Longhorns mounted a 12-play, 58-yard final drive that converted multiple third downs and overcame an earlier 21-10 deficit.
  • LSU outgained Texas 366-273 but missed a 38-yard field goal and committed costly penalties and miscues that left points on the field.
  • The result on Saturday keeps Texas at 8-2 (5-2 SEC) and nearly clinches a College Football Playoff spot while dropping LSU to 6-4 (3-4 SEC) and effectively out of contention.
