Arch Manning throws game-winning TD pass with 3 seconds left to crush No. 21 LSU's playoff hopes in No. 6 Texas' 22-21 win
LSU now has four losses.
In a thrilling game, Arch Manning of No. 6 Texas secured a dramatic 22-21 victory over No. 21 LSU, effectively ending the Tigers' chances of making the College Football Playoff. The decisive play involved Manning throwing a game-winning touchdown pass to Raleek Brown with just three seconds remaining on the clock. Earlier in the game, Manning had already demonstrated his clutch skills by rushing for a first down inside LSU's 5-yard line with nine seconds left on the clock.
The Longhorns had one timeout left, which they had strategically used after Manning's run rather than saving it for a potential play near the goal line. After an incomplete pass on first down, Texas quickly motioned Brown out into open space to create scoring opportunities. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian praised his team's composure and grit during the final drive in a post-game interview with ESPN.
