Arch Manning engineered a 12-play, 58-yard drive capped by a 4-yard touchdown pass to Raleek Brown that gave Texas a 22-21 victory over LSU in Baton Rouge on Nov. 14, 2026, Fox News reported.
Fox News reported Manning completed 19 of 35 passes for 174 yards and three interceptions and scored a rushing touchdown in the first quarter. The Longhorns trailed 14-10 at halftime.
According to Fox News, Manning and LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt traded interceptions in the third quarter before LSU running back Dillon Jones broke a 44-yard touchdown run that put the Tigers ahead 21-10 with 5:52 remaining in the period. Jones finished with 125 rushing yards.
Fox News reported four punts in the fourth quarter — including one after a Manning interception — hurt LSU’s chances. The fourth punt returned possession to Texas at its own 42, and Manning later completed the drive that produced the game-winning score.
The report said Texas improved to 8-2 on the season, bolstering its College Football Playoff prospects, while Lane Kiffin’s LSU fell to 6-4 and is now described by Fox News as largely out of playoff contention.
