Arch Manning, Texas survive Ole Miss after another second-half meltdown creates Austin anxiety
The Texas Longhorns secured a narrow 34-27 victory over Ole Miss after nearly squandering a 24-3 lead. The game highlighted ongoing concerns regarding the team's second-half performance and the consistency of quarterback Arch Manning.
Why it matters
The game is significant for SEC standings and reflects the high-pressure environment surrounding college football programs and high-profile recruits.
There are two faces to Texas, and I still don’t know which one we saw Saturday night against No. 7 Ole Miss as the Longhorns pulled off a thrilling 34-27 upset that came down to the final play. A week of buildup around a different version of Arch Manning and the pressure Steve Sarkisian was facing in regard to this offense showing up for all four quarters was nearing a combustable stage against Pete Golding's Rebels on Saturday night. Just when you thought this Texas team had shown us every possible way to blow a lead, it found a new one Saturday night in Austin. DID WE CREATE A MONSTER?
