Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 06:32 · Archive

Nineteenth-ranked Texas defeated number seven Ole Miss 34-27, with quarterback Arch Manning leading the winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.

Nineteenth-ranked Texas defeated number seven Ole Miss 34-27 on Saturday night in Austin. Quarterback Arch Manning led the Longhorns to victory with a decisive fourth-quarter drive that put them ahead for good. The win ended a two-game losing streak that had sent Texas sliding out of the top of the poll.

Manning's performance was mixed. He threw two interceptions and lost a fumble that Ole Miss recovered for a touchdown. However, he threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo and drove the team down the field for the winning score. Wide receiver Cam Coleman dropped an easy deep pass in the first quarter and exited the game early in the second half with what appeared to be a shoulder injury.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian praised Manning's resilience. 'When he shows that fire in his belly that he had tonight, I think the team responds to that,' Sarkisian said. The previous losses had come against Oklahoma, when Texas blew a 10-point lead, and Florida, when the Longhorns lost a 14-point advantage. Both teams had been unranked at the time.
