Arch Manning and Texas have lingering questions but one certainty for now: They won’t be No. 1
Dallas (AP) — Arch Manning demonstrated his skill by quickly answering the few questions he received following Texas' 27-24 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday. Manning’s interception return of 42 yards for a touchdown led to Oklahoma’s first lead at 24-17, while the second interception left the Sooners with a chance to score a final play field goal.
Manning acknowledged his responsibility for the team's shortcomings, stating, "I think we beat ourselves a lot tonight." The Texas Longhorns had previously won two games with big rallies, propelling them to No. 1, but their recent performances have been lacking. The loss to Oklahoma marked the first time a two-loss team had defeated a ranked opponent in a series that has taken place 122 times, with Oklahoma now boasting a 5-3 record against ranked teams.
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian expressed confidence in his team's ability to bounce back, emphasizing the importance of taking care of mistakes like interceptions and penalties.
