Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns defeated Sam Leavitt, Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers, 22-21, on Saturday after Texas sealed the win with a game-winning drive.

With home-field advantage, LSU entered the matchup as a 4.5-point favorite over Texas, per FanDuel Sportsbook. They lost after a 12-0 second half run from the Longhorns.

Texas improved to 8-2 (5-2 SEC), while LSU fell to 6-4 (3-4 SEC). With an earlier-season win over the Tennessee Volunteers, the Longhorns hold the head-to-head tiebreaker and will move ahead of Tennessee in the SEC standings as they move into third and pursue a potential spot in the SEC Championship Game.

Despite six total turnovers, three interceptions by Leavitt and three by Manning, the game remained exciting down to the wire before the Longhorns sealed it with a game-winning drive as the clock wound down.ย

Texas and LSU traded touchdown drives on their opening possessions.

Manning ran for a 1-yard touchdown, while Leavitt connected with Jackson Harris for a 10-yard score. Leavitt then threw an interception that was picked off by Texas' Jelani McDonald and both teams were tied at seven a piece headed into the second.ย 

The second quarter was sloppy, with Leavitt throwing his second interception and Manning tossing his first on back-to-back drives.

Leavitt found Harris for his second touchdown of the game to give LSU a seven-point lead before Texas added a field goal to cut the deficit to 14-10. LSU missed a 38-yard field goal to close out the half.

Both quarterbacks traded interceptions on consecutive possessions for the second time in the game to open the second half.

LSU's Dilin Jones rushed for a 44-yard touchdown, while Texas added a field goal as the Tigers extended their lead to 21-13 headed into the fourth.

Manning threw his third interception of the game in the fourth but LSU was unable to capitalize on the other end.ย 

With the game on the line and trailing by five, Texas drove 58 yards downfield, overcoming a near-fumble to secure the road win with a red zone touchdown pass from Manning to Raleek Brown.

LSU will hit the road to face the No. 8 Tennessee Volunteers next Saturday, while Texas will host the Arkansas Razorbacks. Both games are scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET.
