Live Notes from No. 6 Texas vs No. 21 LSU

Follow along as our Devon Messinger jots down notes from the press box during Texas’ matchup against the LSU Tigers.

First Quarter

On Texas’ first drive of offense, Arch Manning found the end zone on a 1-yard touchdown rush. On the drive, Steve Sarkisian rolled out several interesting pre-snap looks against the Tiger defense in which Texas running backs or tight ends were motioned to the far side of the perimeter. Notably on the drive, LSU was called for three penalties, aiding the Longhorn offense down the field.

Afterwards, on LSU’s opening drive, the Tigers answered with a touchdown of their own via a 10-yard touchdown pass from Sam Leavitt to Jackson Harris. Prior to the score, the Longhorns forced several tough situations, but Leavitt kept the drive alive with timely throws.
