Summary
Matthew McConaughey celebrated Texas' 24-23 comeback over No. 1 Ohio State with a three-word X post: "Belief. Backbone. Heart."
A 20-point fourth-quarter deficit vanished after Arch Manning hit Ryan Wingo for a touchdown, then Hollywood Smothers scored twice, including the winning 1-yard run with 25 seconds left.
Ohio State had a chance to seal it, but Connor Hawkins missed a 45-yard field goal after making his first three, opening the door for Texas' final drive.
The win pushed Texas to No. 1 in one poll Sunday and marked one of Steve Sarkisian's biggest regular-season victories, while boosting Manning after early Heisman-related scrutiny.
