Texas outlasts Ole Miss: Longhorns blow big lead, come through late for huge win

Key Points:

• Texas narrowly defeated No. 7 Ole Miss 34-27, snapping a two-game losing streak despite quarterback Arch Manning's three turnovers, including two interceptions and a strip-sack fumble.
• Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss threw three interceptions but kept the Rebels competitive, especially in the second half, before an end-zone interception on a last-second Hail Mary sealed the game for Texas.
• Texas' running game, led by Raleek Brown's 157 yards on 23 carries, was pivotal in the fourth quarter, helping the Longhorns regain and maintain the lead after a scoreless third quarter rushing performance.
• Injuries affected both teams: Texas lost left tackle Trevor Goosby early and receiver Cam Coleman later, while Ole Miss star running back Kewan Lacy exited with an injury after a heavy tackle.
• Texas' win improves their College Football Playoff chances to nearly 47%, but concerns remain over offensive consistency and the pressure on Arch Manning as the Longhorns face challenging upcoming games.
