Lane Kiffin gets emotional as LSU collapses in final seconds to Texas
No. 21 LSU lost 22-21 to No. 7 Texas after surrendering its lead in the final seconds, deepening concerns about the Tigers’ season and their coach, Lane Kiffin. The defeat leaves LSU’s College Football Playoff hopes below one per cent and makes a championship run this season highly unlikely.
LSU led 21-13 entering the fourth quarter but punted on all four of its final-period drives as Texas scored nine unanswered points. Arch Manning’s four-yard touchdown pass to Raleek Brown put Texas ahead; LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt finished with 244 passing yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, including two in the red zone. It was LSU’s fourth loss, following defeats to Ole Miss, Kentucky and Alabama.
In short
- Texas overturned LSU’s 21-13 fourth-quarter lead to win 22-21.
- LSU’s playoff chances have fallen below one per cent.
- Sam Leavitt threw three interceptions, two in the red zone.
