FINAL: Texas Beats LSU 22-21

Texas rallied with three field goals and a late Arch Manning touchdown pass to erase a 21-10 deficit and win its SEC opener.

  • On Saturday, the Texas Longhorns defeated the Louisiana State Tigers 22-21 at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. Quarterback Arch Manning orchestrated a 12-play, 58-yard touchdown drive, finding running back Raleek Brown for the go-ahead score with three seconds remaining.
  • Entering the fourth quarter with a 21-13 lead, the Tigers saw their offense collapse as the unit punted on all four final possessions. LSU managed just 15 plays for negative one yards during that period, leaving the door open for a Texas comeback.
  • Throwing for 244 yards with two touchdowns, LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt also threw three interceptions, all to Texas defensive back Jelani McDonald. Texas kicker Gianni Spetic added 42-yard and 50-yard field goals to keep the Longhorns within striking distance.
  • With the 22-21 defeat, the Tigers' record dropped to 6-4, virtually removing them from College Football Playoff consideration. Head Coach Lane Kiffin appeared visibly emotional on the field, with tears welling in his eyes as the loss became final.
  • To rebound, the Tigers travel to Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, to face the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday, November 21. The Longhorns now firmly control their College Football Playoff destiny following the victory.
