Texas vs ms state Injured Arch Manning exits as Texas rallies for OT victory
Texas quarterback Arch Manning left the game after seeing his helmet bounce off the ground at the end of a 13-yard run on the first play of overtime during the No. 22 Longhorns’ 45-38 victory against Mississippi State on Saturday.
Manning stepped back to throw on the play, but when he couldn’t find an open receiver, he ran up the middle. While being tackled by safety Isaac Smith, Manning dived, but defensive lineman Kedric Bingle-Jones hit him from behind.
Texas right tackle Brandon Baker tried to help Manning stand, but the signal-caller struggled to stay on his feet and sat down on the field, allowing trainers to carry him away. Manning was in the medical tent at the end of the game.
Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian did not provide any information about Manning’s condition after the game, telling reporters, “We’ll have more information when we return to Austin.” Sources confirmed to ESPN that Manning suffered a concussion.
Backup quarterback Matthew Caldwell came on the field and threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Emmett Mosley V, capping the Longhorns’ remarkable comeback. After trailing by 17 points in the fourth quarter, the Longhorns fought back to take the game to overtime.
According to ESPN research, the Longhorns were the first SEC team to win after trailing by 17 points in the fourth quarter. In 2013, South Carolina came back from a 17-0 deficit to defeat Missouri 27-24 in two overtimes.
After a slow start, Manning had perhaps his best performance at Texas, completing 29 of 46 passes for a career-best 346 yards and three touchdowns, including one interception. He also scored on a run. He threw 12 of 20 passes in the fourth quarter, scoring 166 yards and two touchdowns. He became the first Texas quarterback to record at least 150 passing yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter since Sam Ehlinger in 2019.
Trailing 38-21, Manning gave the Longhorns some relief when he threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Mosley, increasing Mississippi State’s lead to 38-28 with 9:34 remaining.
The Texas defense forced a three-and-out with two sacks on the Bulldogs’ next possession, and the Longhorns reached the MSU 5-yard line. Texas had to settle for Mason Shipley’s 26-yard field goal, making the score 38-31.
After another three-and-out by the Bulldogs, Texas’ Ryan Niblett returned a punt 79 yards for a touchdown, making the score 38-38 with 1:47 remaining in regulation time.
The Longhorns will host No. 10 Vanderbilt next week.
