Arch Manning sparks Texas' record 20-point fourth-quarter comeback over Ohio State

In a dramatic Saturday night showdown, Texas erased a 20-point fourth-quarter gap to edge Ohio State 24-23, marking the biggest comeback against a top-ranked opponent in a quarter. Arch Manning ignited the rally with a touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo and then completed 11 of his final 15 throws, guiding three lengthy scoring drives.

Coach Steve Sarkisian highlighted Manning’s grit, noting the quarterback’s growth after a turbulent first season as a full-time starter.
