Arch Manning led Texas to a historic 24-23 comeback win against No. 1 Ohio State, shaking off an early deficit and lackluster play to channel his uncle, Eli Manning. The rally saw the Longhorns overcome a 20-point deficit in the fourth quarter, a dramatic turnaround reminiscent of Eli Manning's own career habits.

The game saw Manning shake off some of his own underwhelming play and significant drops from his receivers. Despite the early struggles and a large deficit, he found his rhythm late in the game to secure the improbable victory for Texas.
