Summary
Texas held off No. 7 Ole Miss 34-27 in Austin after a final Rebels heave into the end zone was intercepted on the last play.
A 24-3 Longhorns lead nearly vanished when Ole Miss scored 21 unanswered points, sparked by a sack-fumble returned for a touchdown as Texas managed only 19 yards in the third quarter.
Arch Manning looked sharp early, then threw a second-half interception before responding with a fourth-quarter rushing touchdown that helped Texas regain control.
Ole Miss still made it tense with a late field goal and a recovered onside kick, but the loss leaves the Rebels short after a comeback that briefly flipped the game.
The win boosts Texas, but another uneven offensive performance keeps questions alive ahead of tougher SEC tests against Missouri and LSU.
