Arch Manning threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Raleek Brown with 3 seconds left to give No. 6 Texas a 22-21 win over No. 21 LSU at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on Saturday night. ESPN reported that the win kept Texas firmly in contention for a College Football Playoff spot while virtually eliminating LSU. Manning, who was raised in Louisiana and attended games at the stadium as a kid, went 19-of-35 for 174 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. He converted three third downs on Texas' final drive, which began on its own 42 trailing 21-16 with 2:19 left, and his parents, Cooper and Ellen, watched the decisive throw from nearby seats. LSU had led 21-10 after a 44-yard run by Dilin Jones in the third quarter, before Texas kicker Gianni Spetic kicked field goals of 41 and 50 yards to cut the lead. ESPN also reported that Texas' defense, under coordinator Will Muschamp, has become more aggressive than last year and has helped keep the Longhorns in the SEC title and playoff hunts.
