College Football Week 2 Takeaways: Arch Manning Erases Ohio State Nightmares With 20-Point Fourth-Quarter Comeback

Week Zero was an appetizer. Week 1 was a surprisingly delicious first course. And now with Week 2 of the college football season here, we have a full entrée of incredible games ahead.

The headliner was, of course, No. 1 Ohio State’s trip to Austin to take on Arch Manning and No. 4 Texas. After falling behind 23–3 entering the fourth quarter, the Longhorns offense came alive with three consecutive fourth quarter touchdown drives to take home a 24–23 victory. Ohio State bludgeoned Texas in a defensive struggle at home last year; this season Manning has a slew of new weapons, and may even get a lift from the return of defensive coordinator Will Muschamp to the Forty Acres. Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde has more on how the veteran DC may impact the second-year starting quarterback.
