LSU’s Sam Leavitt threw for two touchdowns while Arch Manning had Texas’ lone rushing touchdown from the first quarter and threw a touchdown late in the game. Each quarterback threw three interceptions and senior defensive back Jelani McDonald caught all of Leavitt’s to join many Longhorns (8-2, 5-2 SEC) who had multiple picks in a single game.

Down almost 11 at one point in the game, Texas got the ball back after the two-minute timeout and Manning went to his receivers to march down the field. Manning rushed for a 1st-and-Goal inside the five-yard line and he finds running back Raleek Brown who walks it into the end zone to beat LSU (6-4, 3-4).
