Arch Manning's two fourth-quarter interceptions doom Texas in loss to Oklahoma

Published October 10, 2026 07:38 PM Texas is No. 1 no more, after a two-interception fourth quarter from quarterback Arch Manning handed Oklahoma a come-from-behind victory in the Red River Rivalry.The Longhorns led 17-7 at halftime, but the second half was a disaster for Manning and Texas, and Oklahoma won 27-24 with a field goal as time expired. Texas entered the game 4-0 and the top-ranked team in the country; Oklahoma entered 2-2 and unranked.Texas punted on all three of its third-quarter possessions, and in the fourth quarter, Manning threw two interceptions. The first was a pick-six that gave Oklahoma its first lead of the game, and the second set up Oklahoma’s game-winning field goal.Manning’s numbers -- 19 of 31 for 260 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions, plus 20 rushing yards -- don’t look terrible. But his fourth quarter performance is what will be remembered from this game.Manning is the betting favorite to be the first overall pick in the NFL draft, just like his uncles Peyton and Eli were. He didn’t look like a first overall pick today.
