Arch Manning joins Texas' 20-win club

Arch Manning’s 6-for-8, 51-yard performance on the game-winning drive in No. 6 Texas’ 22-21 comeback victory over No. 21 LSU on Saturday, including a 4-yard touchdown pass to Raleek Brown with two seconds on the clock, will go down as one of the most memorable sequences in program history.

Along with keeping the Longhorns alive for a trip to the SEC championship game and a berth in the College Football Playoff, Manning became the 12th quarterback in school history to join the 20-win club.

Manning, who has a 9-2 record against Associated Press Top 25 opponents, is tied with James Street for the 11th-most wins all-time on the Forty Acres. If Manning ends the regular season by leading Texas (8-2, 5-2 SEC) to wins over Arkansas and Texas A&M, he’ll tie Major Applewhite (22 wins) for 10th place on the school’s all-time wins list, with a chance to James Brown and Peter Gardere (25 wins) for eighth place if the Longhorns make a run in the CFP.

With wins over Arkansas and A&M, Arch will inch past Chris Simms on the win percentage list.

Also, with two wins to end the regular season, Arch will join Simms (2001-02), VY (2004-05), Colt (2006-09) and Ewers (2023-24) as the only Texas quarterbacks to lead the program to consecutive seasons of at least 10 wins.

I wonder at this point whether Arch really leaves for the NFL.
