— Chris Hummer (@chris_hummer) October 26, 2025What makes the win even more impressive is that Texas quarterback Arch Manning exited on the first play of overtime after he seemed to hit his head on the turf. Backup quarterback Matthew Caldwell connected with Emmett Mosley for the game-winning 10-yard touchdown.
The game was capped off with sack from Ethan Burke that jarred the ball out from Mississippi State quarterback Blake Shapen and was recovered by Alex January.
This is the second straight overtime road victory for Texas. The Longhorns took down Kentucky 16-13 last weekend on a 45-yard field goal from Mason Shipley.
