Texas quarterback Arch Manning exited his team’s win over Mississippi State on Saturday following the first play of overtime after appearing to hit his head on the turf. Manning was able to scramble for a gain of 13 yards and was met with a defender as he went down. Manning is shown leaving the field and entering the medical tent with trainers. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian had no update on Manning’s status after the game.Following Manning’s exit, Matthew Caldwell entered the game and threw what proved to be the winning touchdown pass — a 10-yard strike to Emmett Mosley V. The Texas defense then got the stop it needed on the subsequent possession to get out of Starkville with a 45-38 win. Manning also suffered an injury earlier in this game. After a touchdown run in the first quarter, he walked into the medical tent and then walked back onto the field. He was able to return on the next drive. The No. Manning’s team came back from a 17-point deficit in the fourth period to win. However, the biggest play in this game was on special teams. Texas tied the score at 38 after Ryan Niblett’s kick return of 79 yards in the fourth quarter. The Longhorns went on to win the game by a score of 6-2 and 3-1 overall. Texas won its second straight road overtime victory. Last week, the Longhorns defeated Kentucky 16-13.
