Arch Manning and No. 10 Texas stay in the playoff race by rallying past No. 19 Missouri

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Texas and Arch Manning have managed to stay in the playoff race by defeating No. 19 Missouri with a 34-20 victory. The Longhorns had been facing tough competition from unranked teams, but their recent performances against ranked opponents have started to change that narrative. They secured the win with three unanswered touchdowns in the second half, while their defense made crucial stops.

Arch Manning stood out with a remarkable performance, throwing for 297 yards and three touchdowns, and running back Raleek Brown added to the success with key plays. Coach Steve Sarkisian praised his team's resilience, stating that they continue to fight and battle, even when faced with adversity. The only ranked opponent left on their schedule is LSU, which could prove to be a significant challenge for the Longhorns.
