Arch Manning turns Death Valley into LSU’s funeral as Texas buries Lane Kiffin’s CFP hopes
BATON ROUGE, La. — Turns out, the Texas Longhorns had one last drive left in them, on a night when nothing was going Arch Manning's way.
What we witnessed on Saturday night inside Tiger Stadium will be remembered for quite some time, by both Texas and LSU fans.
What started as a party for the Tiger faithful turned into a funeral for the LSU 2026 season that will leave folks in Louisiana wondering how they could give this one away to the Longhorns.
The pressure entering this one was heavy on both sides. Texas could not afford another loss and feel totally safe in making the postseason, while a fourth loss for LSU would put an end to their CFP hopes, even if they were already hanging by a thread.
Was there some hesitation among LSU fans to get overly excited about this one? If you were wondering why, the final drive of this game all but proved their point that Lane Kiffin is the same guy who could not win the big game at Ole Miss, and now as head coach of the Tigers.
Maybe that's because Sam Leavitt had three interceptions through three quarters tonight, and it's hard to trust this LSU offense at times. It wasn’t if the other side was any better though, with Arch Manning throwing three of his own.

Why not? This is LSU football we're talking about here, with a head coach that has spent over $40 million on its roster this season. You bet that Kiffin and his staff felt the pressure in the week leading up to this one, and rightfully so.
This was a game in which both teams could not afford to lose, even though that swayed more in the direction of LSU given their three losses.
As day turned into night, the craziness began for both teams. Multiple interceptions, special teams blunders and some interesting play calling on each side of the field.
But, it was Arch Manning that had the ball with just over two minutes remaining in a game that set offenses back years up until the final drive of the game. If there’s one thing we’ve learned about the Texas Longhorns this season, it’s that we can’t put anything past them.
A 12-play, 58-yard drive would seal the deal for a Texas team that had one last chance to pull off a miracle in Baton Rouge.
Were you expecting anything different?

Arch Manning hit Raleek Brown on a swing pass that caught the LSU defense off guard, and Brown fought his way into the end zone to secure Texas’ 22-21 win, drawing a roar from a Texas crowd that had essentially taken over the southern end of Tiger Stadium.
Just when you thought the Longhorns were done, the defense gave this team one last chance to pull off what many will remember as one of the best moments of Arch Manning's college career. Let me be clear that this Texas offense looked putrid at times, getting torched along the line of scrimmage, while Manning would end the game with three interceptions.
But, all it took was one legendary drive for a quarterback that will be remembered for a number of inconsistencies in college.
On Saturday night, none of that mattered when Manning grabbed Steve Sarkisian during the post-game interview with ESPN. His interceptions will be remembered by those who cover him on a daily basis, but the touchdown pass will live on forever in Texas lore.
As Sarkisian and Manning headed towards the Texas end zone to greet the fans who made the chaotic trip to Baton Rouge, you could once again see what once again looked like disbelief come across the face of the starting quarterback.
Not that Arch thought he couldn’t do it. But more so, the fact that so many things were not going his way leading up to that final drive.
"Holy sh-t," Manning proclaimed as he bent over in the end zone during the postgame celebration.
"That was incredible."
On the other hand, LSU finds itself done with any talk of playing in the college football playoff. A roster worth over $40 million will now be sitting at home while others fight for a national championship, to the dismay of Tiger fans that bought into the words of their head coach.
Fool you once, shame on you. Fool you four times, you're just out of luck.
Arch Manning delivered a dagger to his home state on Saturday night, just when those around the college football community thought the Longhorns were done in Baton Rouge.
We got the ending we deserved after sitting through that offensive disaster for nearly an entire game.
For the Texas Longhorns, the season continues and a run towards the college football playoff might have started weeks ago.
But tonight inside Tiger Stadium, Arch Manning and Steve Sarkisian dialed up a drive that will be remembered forever in Austin.
And, it was the Tigers that brought out another side of a Manning that we have not seen before.
Texas' season will more than likely continue into late December.
Lane Kiffin is going to have a hard time answering this one at the local quarterback club once this season finally ends.
Masked dirt bike riders swarm SUV in brazen NYC street attack, sparking police crackdown
New York City officials are warning a group of masked dirt bike riders that arrests could be imminent after video captured a chaotic confrontation in which several riders surrounded and attacked a vehicle on a busy Staten Island street.
The crackdown follows a Wednesday incident on Richmond Avenue in Staten Island's Bulls Head neighborhood, where video showed several masked riders swarming a white SUV stopped at a traffic light.
In the video obtained by Fox News Digital, several individuals appeared to kick and strike the vehicle, while another appeared to throw an object at it. As the driver attempted to leave, the SUV appeared to run over a dirt bike that had been positioned in front of the vehicle.

During a news conference Thursday, NYPD Assistant Chief John Buttacavoli warned those involved that police were gathering intelligence and working to identify the suspects.
"We know who you are, and you will be getting a knock on your door very soon," Buttacavoli said, emphasizing that the behavior had escalated from a quality-of-life concern into criminal activity.
"It stops here. We're taking action," he added.
Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon also condemned the riders, accusing them of intimidating motorists and putting innocent people at risk.
"Like a plague of locusts, they descend upon drivers who are just going about their business here on Staten Island," McMahon said. "They're jackals, they're teenage terrorists, and it's not going to be tolerated here in our borough."
McMahon called the behavior "simply outrageous," adding that no one had been seriously injured, based on the information available to officials.
Wednesday's incident was part of a broader pattern of dangerous behavior involving motorized bikes, according to Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella.
Fossella described the riders as a "bunch of punks who are literally terrorizing drivers" as motorists went about their daily routines.
"Enough. This game is over," Fossella said.
The borough president also warned parents that their children were putting innocent motorists at risk.
"Your kid is terrorizing innocent people when they're just going about their business. It's wrong, and it needs to stop," Fossella said.
McMahon warned that parents could face legal or financial consequences if their children use illegal motorized vehicles to intimidate or injure others, including potential civil liability if someone is hurt.
"Parents also must take responsibility for their children," McMahon's office said in a separate statement.
Police have assembled a task force to address the problem and will continue confiscating illegally operated motorized bikes, according to Buttacavoli. He said officers had already identified several individuals and seized numerous bikes this year.

The NYPD also reminded residents that certain motorized vehicles must be registered, insured and operated by licensed drivers.
State Assemblyman Mike Reilly, R-Staten Island, said he plans to introduce legislation in January that would hold parents financially responsible for minors caught recklessly operating certain motorized vehicles, according to the New York Post.
The proposal would impose fines ranging from $250 to $1,500, the paper reported.
The incident remains under investigation, and no arrests have been announced.
Benches clear in chaotic postgame brawl after Louisville Cardinals top North Carolina Tar Heels
The Louisville Cardinals managed to beat the North Carolina Tar Heels 16-14 after a late interception ended UNC's hopes of taking the lead.
While that sounds exciting, it's no match for the all-out brawl that erupted as the clock wound down to zero.
With just over a minute to go, UNC's Travis Burgess seemed to have thrown a pass that would move the Tar Heels close to midfield; however, it wound up in the arms of a Cardinal.
RAMS OFFENSIVE LINEMAN PUNCHES BILLS LINEBACKER AFTER THRILLING GAME: 'TEMPERS GOT FLARED'
Bummer. That's it. Game over. Everyone can leave. Nothing else to see.
Well, any fans who did stick around saw something wild. As the Cardinals took a knee for the final time, tempers started flaring.
Then they kept flaring, and really never stopped.
The benches cleared, and chaos ensued.
We also got one of my favorite things, which is officials trying to break up a brawl by blowing their whistles and throwing flags.
Seriously? In that melee, do you really think whistling away like a London Bobby is going to do anything?
Now you don't just have a brawl on your hands. You have a brawl, a total racket and a bunch of flags you've got to go and pick up.
So, did any of that improve the situation in any measurable way?
No. No, it did not.
Of course, with that much mayhem, there's not much the officiating can do (or would want to do), and it will be interesting to see if there's any supplemental discipline coming.
The Tar Heels likely don’t need any, because they’re probably in for a rough few days.
It was a bad night on several fronts for Bill Belichick's boys. Something tells me it won't be a fun week as the 5-5 Tar Heels prepare to take on Virginia next weekend.
Kenneth Walker III out against NFL rushing leader Bijan Robinson's Falcons, Patrick Mahomes off injury report
The Chiefs will be without one of their biggest offensive threats when they visit the Falcons on Sunday.
Kenneth Walker III, the NFL’s second-leading rusher, was ruled out Saturday with a groin injury and will miss his first game since joining Kansas City. Rookie running back Emmett Johnson will step in for Walker.
The matchup was set to showcase the league’s top two rushers. Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson leads the NFL with 880 rushing yards, just eight ahead of Walker’s 872. Walker has also caught 22 passes for 172 yards and four touchdowns, while Robinson has added 250 receiving yards.

Walker had been listed as questionable on the injury report after tweaking his groin during Thursday’s practice. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the team would monitor his progress over the next couple of days.
Johnson has played well when given a chance this season, though. The overlooked fifth-round pick out of Nebraska has run 26 times for 111 yards and a touchdown, and he’s caught 14 passes for 237 yards and another score.
"He’s going to play anyway, whether Ken’s there or not," Reid said Friday. "Everybody has confidence in him."
The Chiefs’ bigger problem is the lack of depth behind Johnson. Brashard Smith went on injured reserve with a hamstring injury Oct. 24, while Ott is questionable for Sunday’s game in Atlanta with a sore hamstring. He carried three times for 19 yards in mop-up duty during last week’s blowout win over the Jets.
The Chiefs also received good news on the injury front. Two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes was listed as a full participant throughout the week and carries no injury designation for Sunday’s game.
Mahomes was able to bounce back after taking a hard hit to his right arm during last week’s 35-12 win over the Jets. An MRI taken afterward showed no major injury to his right elbow, NFL Network reported.
The Chiefs were flying to Atlanta on Saturday, and they did not expect any changes to their flight plan following the Federal Aviation Administration’s ground stoppage a day earlier. Standout defensive tackle Chris Jones was not traveling with the team for personal reasons, but the Chiefs said he would join the team in Atlanta and he carried no game designation.

Georgia football three-star recruit Marcellus Young Casario dies after 'medical emergency,' high school says
The college football community is mourning the death of a promising young player.
Marcellus Young Casario, 18, died Friday after what his high school described as a "sudden medical emergency." Casario was rated a three-star recruit and played defensive line.
Casario was from Canada and a senior at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, a boarding school in Georgia located roughly 114 miles northeast of Atlanta. The school announced Friday that an unidentified student had died and later postponed a state playoff game scheduled for that night.

Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School said it followed its emergency response protocols after a boarding student experienced a medical incident Friday morning.
"The boarding student had a medical incident this morning," the school said in a statement post to social media. "Rabun Gap immediately followed our emergency response protocols, and local emergency personnel responded, transferring the student to the hospital."
Casario was later identified as the student. Other details about what led to Friday’s medical emergency were not immediately available.
Casario started playing organized football at an independent boarding school in Aurora, Ontario. In 2025 and shortly before his junior season kicked off, Casario transferred to Rabun Gap-Nacoochee.
DIVISION-II RUNNING BACK PRONOUNCED DEAD AFTER MEDICAL EMERGENCY IN TEAM'S SEASON OPENER
He did see his dreams of receiving a college football scholarship come true. After visiting Georgia and Michigan State, among other schools, Casario landed offers from Georgia, Miami and Virginia Tech before committing to the Bulldogs on June 15.
"He was everything a coach wants in a player," Rabun Gap-Nacoochee football coach Derek White said in a statement.
"[Marcellus] truly embodied our mission to 'love one another.' He was known for his relentless dedication, and his journey as a student-athlete was marked by hard work and true brotherhood with his teammates."
ESPN ranked Casario as the No. 49 defensive end in the nation.
Florida stuns Kentucky 21-14 as Gators pull off yet another upset win in up-and-down season
When you're the No. 11 team in the nation and battling for a crack at the College Football Playoff like the Kentucky Wildcats, you'd normally be licking your chops at the prospect of a 5-4 team paying you a visit.
However, that team happened to be the Florida Gators. They've been struggling as of late, but still have a pair of shocking upset wins on their resume this season, taking down both Ole Miss and Texas.
So, there was nothing they'd like more than playing spoiler and maybe getting their season back on track.
WHICH CURRENT THREE-LOSS TEAM WOULD BE THE MOST DANGEROUS IN THIS YEAR'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF?
But before we get to the game, we must take a moment to acknowledge Kentucky's drone show.
Drones are way better than fireworks. I will die on that hill.
Anyway, it took a while for anyone to put points on the board. Kentucky struck first when QB Kenny Minchey found running back CJ Baxter for a touchdown with under two minutes to go in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Florida got rid of its goose egg thanks to an offensive holding penalty in the end zone, which resulted in a safety.
As rough as it has been for Florida, they had to have been happy heading to the locker room at halftime trailing just 7-2.
And what they had to have liked even more was scoring a touchdown in the third quarter to take their first lead in several weeks. Running back Jadan Baugh took matters into his own hands and punched it into the end zone.
Kentucky answered back with a Kenny Minchey 1-yard keeper for a touchdown, while the Gators settled for a field goal to make it 14-13 going into the fourth quarter.
Gators quarterback Aaron Philo led the team on an impressive 14-play drive that ended with him using his legs to retake the lead.
Jon Sumrall took a bit of a gamble by keeping his offense on the field for a two-point conversion attempt, and that proved to be a good call. Phylo rolled out and lobbed a pass to a wide-open Dallas Wilson to extend the lead to 21-14.
But, of course, what would this be without a little drama?
Florida decided to go for it on 4th-and-1 just past midfield. A first down would've ended the game as Kentucky was out of timeouts. However, the Wildcats' defense did their job and stopped the Gators about an inch short.
That meant the offense got one more crack at it.
Unfortunately, for Will Stein's offense, they couldn't get anything going. Minchey threw three straight incomplete passes, then left the offense on the field to go for it on 4th-and-10.
The Gators might be the definition of feast or famine this season. That's a third upset win over a ranked opponent... and they're still 6-4 on the year.
Talk about some ups and downs.
The loss puts a huge dent in Kentucky's playoff hopes. They'll face Missouri next week, while Florida heads back to the Swamp to take on Vanderbilt.
Federal judge blocks Trump's renovations of DC golf course hours before its closure
A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order Saturday to delay closing a D.C.-area golf course amid President Donald Trump's push to have the course renovated.
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued the two-week delay before the East Potomac Golf Links was due to close Sunday for 15 months.
The course sits on federally owned land at East Potomac Park and has been part of Washington's public golf scene for more than a century. Trump announced in May the course would undergo a "historic renovation" that would prepare it to host major professional golf events.

The plaintiffs argue that Trump's plan would change the character of the accessible golf course and make it unaffordable, something the president denies.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump has dubbed the course "Trash Island," doing so as recently on Saturday in a Truth Social post in which he said it is the "worst" course in the world.
Trump said the conditions of the course are "very dangerous," adding pictures of what appears to be the course in poor shape.
"The Fairways are far too close together. When you walk down the corridors of Trash Island, you don’t hear the sound of the running Potomac, all you hear is the sound of people screaming, 'FORE!'," Trump wrote.
Trump has posted about the course in the past. Reyes in her ruling Saturday noted that Trump's posts presented a problem for the government.

"They indicate that the Washington National Plan is final and that [National Park Service] will close the Park to implement it," she wrote. "Both points favor granting Plaintiffs’ motion for another temporary restraining order."
The park’s redevelopment is one of multiple projects in the nation's capital that Trump has championed to remake the city. They include a large memorial arch, a White House ballroom and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, among others.
Reyes, who was nominated to the court by Joe Biden, had for months been reticent about approving the plaintiffs’ requests for work stoppages. The plaintiffs had argued the administration was moving ahead with work related to the project despite the pending lawsuit.
Her reluctance to issue orders ended in October, spurred in part by a tree-cutting spree by the administration over a holiday weekend with little notification to the judge or plaintiffs.
Officials and government lawyers said the tree work was part of a 2019 plan that recommended the cutting. In response, the judge confronted the administration over what she portrayed as deceitful actions over its intentions for the project.
Reyes has repeatedly expressed frustration over the minute planning details she has been asked to adjudicate, including over the trees being cut down at the 106-year-old park.

Dabo Swinney reacts after Clemson hits latest low with upset loss to Georgia Tech: 'Nobody coming to save us'
Georgia Tech coach Brent Key overhauled his staff this week, firing multiple assistants amid a four-game losing streak. The shake-up came as a season that began with high expectations spiraled into disappointment.
The Yellow Jackets responded Saturday, ending their losing streak with an upset road win over Clemson. The Dabo Swinney coached Tigers managed just 228 total yards in the 20-6 defeat at Memorial Stadium.
The loss further dimmed Clemson’s ACC Championship game hopes and left the Tigers with injuries to both quarterbacks. Starter Tait Reynolds was forced to head to the locker room early with a leg injury, and Christopher Vizzina threw for 133 yards and an interception in relief. Vizzina went to the hospital after the game with his own injury.

Swinney reacted to the latest low point in Clemson’s season, acknowledging that any turnaround would have to come from within. "It's difficult, but ain't nobody coming to save us, nobody cares, we've got to find a way to get it done," Swinney said.
Clemson has now lost nine of its last 11 home games against Power Four opponents. Under Swinney, the Tigers once put together school-record 40 consecutive home games at Memorial Stadium from 2016 through 2022.
"It's frustrating; we've not played well (at home) coming off two really good wins," Swinney continued. "Really expected us to play great today. Great week of practice, but again, it didn't go our way. It's frustrating, but we don't make any excuses. We're not blaming it on injuries. We didn't get it done. It's my job."

RANKING WHICH POWER 4 COLLEGE FOOTBALL HEAD COACHING JOB IS MOST LIKELY TO COME OPEN NEXT
Georgia Tech rushed for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Swinney acknowledged how difficult it is to win when his defense struggles to contain the opposing team's run game.
"When you can't stop the run, you don't deserve to win," Swinney said. "But you got to score enough points. We're not doing enough on offense. You don't win the line of scrimmage, you don't deserve to win; they did, give them credit."
Swinney’s 7-6 finish in 2025, his worst since 2010, raised questions about his future with the program. A season-opening blowout loss at LSU further intensified scrutiny of his future and renewed attention on the $57 million buyout he would receive if fired this season.
Swinney is owed $60 million beginning in 2027, but a declining buyout schedule would lower Clemson’s obligation to $57 million if he is fired this fall. His contract does not include a mitigation clause, meaning if he lands another coaching job, Clemson would not get a discount on the amount the school owes him.
Clemson closes out its ACC regular-season schedule next Friday against Duke. Georgia Tech hosts Wake Forest next week in Atlanta.
UNC Asheville player makes costly mistake after miracle 3-pointer that could have forced overtime
At least one college basketball team is apparently knocking off the rust in the early going of the season.
UNC Asheville lost a heartbreaker to Georgia Tech, 75-74, just seconds after jubilation ensued due to a costly mistake.
Georgia Tech built a 74-71 advantage in the final seconds before Connor Dubsky hit a 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds remaining to tie it and likely send the game to overtime.

However, apparently, UNC Asheville forward Myles Mayfield did not know what the score was, because he intentionally fouled a Yellow Jacket almost immediately.
Head coach Mike Morrell was in disbelief initially, but he and other players consoled Mayfield.
That sent Victor Valdes to the free throw line, and he hit one of two to take the lead, and UNC Asheville was unable to get another shot off.
UNC Asheville was up by 10 with 6:30 to go, so there is plenty of blame to go around. The Yellow Jackets (4-0) trailed 32-25 at halftime and were down by as many as 11 in the second half before rallying.
TOP-RANKED GEORGIA ROLLS PAST MISSOURI, MOVES CLOSER TO SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME RETURN
To make matters worse, though, the mistake erased quite an effort from Mayfield, who scored 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting.
Georgia Tech overcame 37% shooting by grabbing 19 offensive rebounds and holding a 45-37 advantage on the glass.
Tylis Jordan added seven rebounds for Georgia Tech, while Jackson Fields finished with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Kam Craft scored 13 points and made four 3-pointers, and Kaiden Bailey added 11 off the bench.

Top-ranked Georgia rolls past Missouri, moves closer to SEC championship game return
Georgia made the most of its return to No. 1. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 31-point first-half lead and went on to roll past Missouri 48-21 between the famed hedges at Sanford Stadium.
Georgia running back Nate Frazier rushed for three touchdowns, while quarterback Gunnar Stockton accounted for two more scores.
The performance marked a sharp turnaround from last month, when the Bulldogs first reached No. 1 before suffering a stunning home loss to the unranked Auburn Tigers.

The Bulldogs avoided a repeat against another group of Tigers, scoring on their first five possessions. Frazier rushed for 72 yards. Stockton finished with 252 passing yards. Georgia held Missouri to 286 total yards, with much of the Tigers’ production coming after the outcome was decided.
The tone was set almost instantly when Raylen Wilson intercepted Austin Simmons on the first play from scrimmage. Wilson returned his first career pick 30 yards to the Missouri 7-yard line. Two plays later, Frazier scored on a 4-yard run, putting the Bulldogs ahead just 61 seconds into the game.
KIRBY SMART HAS ENTERED HIS MOST DANGEROUS ERA AFTER GEORGIA’S AGGRESSIVE WIN OVER ALABAMA
It only got worse for Mizzou.
Stockton scored on an 8-yard touchdown run, Frazier capped an 87-yard drive with a 3-yard TD, Peyton Woodring booted a 41-yard field goal and Stockton capped the barrage with a 12-yard scoring pass to Isiah Canion just past the midway point of the second quarter.
Simmons threw for 175 yards and three touchdowns, but most of his production only made the final score a bit more respectable.
Georgia has cruised to victory in each of their last three games — dominating Florida, Ole Miss and now Mizzou by a combined score of 117-36.
Georgia travels to South Carolina next week to close out its SEC regular-season schedule. Missouri hosts Kentucky.
