Arch Manning wanted redemption against Ohio State, and he got it
Arch Manning sure got his redemption against Ohio State.
Texas quarterback Arch Manning sought redemption against Ohio State after a tough loss to the Buckeyes in the 2025 college football season opener. Manning finished that contest with 170 passing yards, a touchdown, and an interception, trailing 14-7. He expressed his dislike for the memory of that game, stating, "Not a lot of good memories a year ago," to ESPN’s Dave Wilson.
However, Manning aimed to settle the score when Texas hosted Ohio State on Saturday. After trailing 23-3 after the third quarter, he ignited a fourth-quarter rally, guiding the Longhorns on three touchdown drives, including the game-winning score with 25 seconds remaining. Manning completed 4-of-5 passes for 48 yards during the game-winner and contributed 91 passing yards and a touchdown in the crucial fourth quarter.
His performance was marked by exceptional execution on crucial fourth downs, where he delivered precise throws to extend drives. Manning finished the game with a total of 196 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. Texas now stands at 2-0 following this victory, bolstered by their stunning 20-point comeback against the No. 1-ranked Ohio State.
The win is anticipated to instill significant confidence in the Longhorns as they gear up for their SEC schedule. Manning's resurgence, particularly after leading a dramatic comeback, is expected to further elevate his confidence. The ensuing game night in Austin promises to be an electrifying spectacle.
