  "account": "The Texas Longhorns staged an incredible fourth-quarter comeback against Ohio State, turning a 23-3 halftime deficit into a 27-20 victory. Arch Manning proved to be the catalyst for the miraculous turnaround; his touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo put Texas ahead 13-10, followed by a 14-play drive that culminated in a Hollywood Smothers touchdown, reducing Ohio State's lead to six points. Connor Hawkins' missed 45-yard field goal further tilted the momentum in Texas' favor, as Texas managed to kill time on the clock, eventually punching in a game-winning touchdown with just 25 seconds left on the clock. This stunning fourth-quarter surge marked the first time a team had overcome a 20-point deficit in the final quarter since 2004, leaving fans in Austin and across the nation buzzing about Texas' unlikely triumph.",
  "summary": "The Longhorns entered the final quarter trailing by 20. They still beat the nation's top-ranked squad.",
