Arch Manning's two fourth-quarter interceptions doom Texas in loss to Oklahoma

The Texas Longhorns' undefeated season came to an abrupt end in the Red River Rivalry as Oklahoma staged a dramatic comeback. Entering the game as the top-ranked team in the country, Texas led 17-7 at halftime but collapsed in the second half, surrendering two costly interceptions from quarterback Arch Manning.

Oklahoma capitalized on both turnovers, including a pick-six that shifted momentum and a fourth-quarter interception that set up the game-winning field goal as time expired. Despite completing 19 of 31 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns, Manning’s late-game errors sealed a 27-24 defeat for Texas, which had entered the matchup 4-0.

The loss also cast doubt on Manning’s NFL draft prospects, as his shaky fourth quarter contrasted with his status as the projected No. 1 overall pick—mirroring the expectations tied to his legendary uncles, Peyton and Eli.

Texas’s struggles extended beyond Manning, as the offense punted on all three third-quarter possessions, further stifling any late-game rally chances.
