No. 21 LSU’s College Football Playoff hopes got dashed by Arch Manning and Raleek Brown.
No. 6 Texas, meanwhile, is almost assuredly in the 12-team field.
Manning hit Brown on a swing pass with three seconds left for a 4-yard touchdown to give the No. 6 Longhorns a 22-21 win over the No. 21 Tigers.
The TD pass came after Manning ran for a first down inside the LSU 5-yard line with nine seconds to go. The Longhorns had one timeout remaining. Instead of spiking it and saving the timeout to potentially have the ability for a run play near the goal line, Texas used that final timeout after Manning’s run.

After an incomplete pass on first down, the Longhorns motioned Brown out into the flat as quickly as they could to get him into space.
“I thought our guys had great poise and composure in that final drive to execute, showed a lot of guts by Arch for sure,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian told ESPN after the game.
