Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Nov, 05:31 · Archive

Arch Manning threw a touchdown pass with 3 seconds left to give No. 8 Texas a 22-21 victory over No. 24 LSU.

Arch Manning led No. 8 Texas to a dramatic 22-21 victory over No. 24 LSU at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night, finding running back Raleek Brown for a 4-yard touchdown pass with 3 seconds remaining. The win kept Texas (8-2, 5-2 SEC) firmly in contention for a College Football Playoff spot while virtually eliminating LSU (6-4, 3-4).

Manning was largely unspectacular through most of the game, completing 19 of 35 passes for 174 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. He also rushed for an early score. However, he engineered the decisive final drive, beginning from Texas's own 42-yard line while trailing 21-16 with 2 minutes 19 seconds left. He converted three third downs — one with a 5-yard pass and two with rushing — to position Texas for the winning strike.

LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt passed for 244 yards and two touchdowns to Jackson Harris but was also intercepted three times. LSU also missed a 38-yard field goal at the end of the first half, when the Tigers held a 14-10 lead. The victory took place in Louisiana, where Manning was raised and where he attended games as a child.
