TEXAS TAKES DOWN LSU AT THE BUZZER
How in the world did Texas win this game? This blog was supposed to be about how Arch Manning is not built for these moments. He threw three terrible interceptions — Sam Leavitt handed the Longhorns back just as many — but somehow got his stuff together on Texas's final drive and delivered the game-winner to Raleek Brown with just three second left on the clock to get a huge road win and keep the Horns looking good in the College Football Playoff race.
Maybe Arch just needs the lights to be brightest and that's when he's going to show up. Sure, it may not be ideal that he's going to play like hot garbage for three quarters and Texas will need its defense to be borderline otherworldly to keep it in the game, but if you can just give him the ball with a chance to win, Arch is going to deliver.
LSU falls to 6-4 in Lane Kiffin's first season with a $40 million roster and another loss coming next week when the Tigers go to Knoxville. Not what the entire Louisiana state government had in mind when Kiffin was installed in Baton Rouge, I'm guessing.
Great win for the Horns. They find a way when they have to have it.
