Everything Arch Manning Said After Leading Texas to Comeback Win vs. Lane Kiffin, LSU Amid CFP Race

Texas quarterback Arch Manning reflected on his performance after the Longhorns took down LSU by the final score of 22-21 on Saturday.

"In a bunch of years, I'm going to tell everyone we had a game winning drive and everyone's gonna forget the three picks," Manning told reporters after the game.

Manning threw three interceptions during the SEC clash, but connected with Raleek Brown for a game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of the fourth quarter.

LSU was effectively eliminated from the College Football Playoff with the defeat, as Manning revealed that the Longhorns discussed having "to end someone else's dream" heading into the game.

Manning, a New Orleans native, also explained how he felt winning in his home state.

"I grew up around a lot of LSU fans, so it's gonna feel good to come back for Mardi Gras or come back whenever I come home and not have them talk a bunch of crap," Manning said during his press conference (0:09 mark).

"I was pointing out to some of the teammates where I sat at these games growing up," he added. "So just coming back home, getting it done the last few seconds, it's a memory I'll have for the rest of my life."

The signal-caller detailed how Texas' flight to the game was delayed by the Federal Aviation Administration's nationwide ground stop on Friday as well.

"It was actually kind of fun," Manning told reporters. "We went back to the facility, had dinner and then we had like an hour before our meeting. So we just sat in the stadium and chilled and talked, got pretty deep. It was fun."

The Longhorns took an early 7-0 lead over LSU in Saturday's contest, but the Tigers quickly tied the game at 7-7.

With Texas attempting to move back in front early in the second quarter, Manning threw an interception that allowed LSU to gain a 14-7 advantage.

The Longhorns responded with a field goal, but the Tigers still led 14-10 at halftime.

LSU pushed its lead to 21-10 with a 44-yard rushing touchdown by Dilin Jones in the third quarter, but couldn't find much success offensively afterwards.

Texas scored 12 straight points to win the game on Manning's last-second touchdown pass, while the Tigers were forced to punt on each of their final four possessions.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian's squad improved to 8-2 with the victory, remaining squarely in the CFP picture.
