Texas quarterback Arch Manning suffered an injury in overtime against Mississippi State.
The injury happened on the first play of the OT period, when Manning scrambled for a first down. Just as Manning was diving toward the ground, he took a solid hit from two Bulldogs defenders and stayed on the ground before team personnel came onto the field to check on him.

Manning was helped off the field and taken into the medical tent as backup Matthew Caldwell took over at signal-caller for the Longhorns.
Manning was instrumental in Texas pulling off a fourth quarter comeback after Texas trailed by 17-points with 10 minutes left in the game. He had a big day with 346 yards passing and three touchdown passes to one interception.
