Texas Rallies Past LSU 22-21 as Manning Throws Go-Ahead Touchdown With 3 Seconds Left
The No. 8 Texas Longhorns rallied to beat the No. 22 LSU Tigers 22-21 on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Texas quarterback Arch Manning threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to running back Raleek Brown with 3 seconds left for the go-ahead score. Texas improved to 8-2 overall and 5-2 in the SEC, while LSU fell to 6-4 and 3-4 in the SEC, ending the Tigers' College Football Playoff hopes.
The lead changed hands several times. Manning opened the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, and LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt answered with two touchdown passes to wide receiver Jackson Harris as LSU took a 14-10 halftime lead. Dilin Jones stretched the margin to 21-10 with a 44-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, before two Texas field goals cut it to 21-16 in the fourth.
On the final drive, Texas took over at its own 42-yard line with about 2:15 left. Manning led a 12-play, 58-yard march and, facing second-and-goal from the LSU 4, found Brown for the winning touchdown; the two-point try failed, leaving the score at 22-21. Manning finished 19 of 35 for 174 yards with three interceptions and one rushing touchdown. Leavitt threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns, both to Harris, and Jones rushed for 125 yards. LSU next plays at Tennessee on November 21.
