“So that was going through my mind, let’s not let that happen. Had to get something going. I always knew we were going to be in it at the end, we just had to get something going, and whatever it takes at the end of the game. I’m so glad we won.”

Manning said this on the field immediately after Texas rallied to beat Ohio State 24-23.

“I did not want to come in here after a loss at home, to Ohio State again, and have y’all tell me we’re not good, all that stuff. I could not let that happen,”
