The matchup between Ohio State and Texas was always going to have big stakes. A look at the winners and losers from the dramatic win by the Longhorns.
Texas quarterback Arch Manning had to overcome nightmares of last year's contest against Ohio State to win on Saturday.
Arch Manning and No. 4 Texas stole a 24-23 victory from No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday night, rallying from a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit.
Arch Manning wasn't his best against Ohio State in Week 2, but still did enough for a stunning comeback win. Here are his final stats from Texas' win:
The Longhorns’ path to the College Football Playoff was about to be put in a difficult spot, with the Buckeyes holding a 23-3 lead in the second half at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium. It was about to be an all-too-familiar story, with an early-season loss to Ohio State putting their team off track in September.
In Ohio State’s 14-7 win over Texas last year, Arch Manning went into the fourth quarter with just 38 yards passing, leading to a narrative that Julian Sayin outplayed him badly. The final numbers said otherwise and Saturday, as well.
Texas football came back from a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Buckeyes. The college football world couldn't believe its eyes:
Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning appeared to suffer a wrist injury during Saturday's game against Ohio State.
Tyler White fumbled before a punt later in the fourth and Arizona State recovered on the Texas A&M 34. But A&M’s T.J. Searcy hit Cutter Boley as he threw on the next play and 261-pound defensive end Marco Jones grabbed the ball and rumbled 55 yards for the score.
