Arch Manning and No. 19 Texas hang on to beat No. 7 Ole Miss 34-27 after blowing 21-point lead

Arch Manning accounted for three touchdowns as Texas survived a late Ole Miss rally and avoided a third straight loss.

  • On Saturday, Texas quarterback Arch Manning led the Longhorns to a 34-27 victory over seventh-ranked Mississippi in Austin, throwing a touchdown pass and recording his first two rushing scores of the season.
  • The Longhorns dominated the first half, building a 24-3 lead behind Manning's 171 passing yards and a deep 50-yard touchdown pass to receiver Ryan Wingo before the Rebels found rhythm.
  • Ole Miss sparked a 21-0 run in the second half, fueled by defensive end Kam Franklin's touchdown after recovering a Manning fumble, while Trinidad Chambliss connected with Horatio Fields twice to tie the game 24-24.
  • Manning responded with his second rushing touchdown to regain the lead, and defensive back Jelani McDonald intercepted a final pass to secure the win despite Texas nearly squandering a 10-point lead late.
  • Chambliss has thrown 14 touchdowns and 1,676 passing yards this season, while Manning continues to face pressure as nephew of NFL stars Peyton and Eli Manning; neither quarterback delivered a standout performance.
