Arch Manning delivered a last-second touchdown pass to Raleek Brown to save Texas’ playoff dreams.
The Longhorns were on the verge of their third loss of the regular season, but Manning led them on a winning streak to improve to 8-2.
LSU was considered the last major hurdle for Texas to clear before feeling comfortable about its place in the 12-team field.
Texas finishes with the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Texas A&M Aggies, two games it should win easily to get to 10-2.
The only way three-loss Texas gets on the field is if the Longhorns lose in the SEC Championship Game.
If they’re in 6th place or higher heading into the first weekend of December, Manning and Co. should feel good about their overall spot.
The loss officially eliminated LSU from the playoffs in Lane Kiffin’s first season at the helm. The Tigers are 6-4 overall and 3-4 in SEC play.
