The Texas Longhorns<\/a> are back in the win column. <\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t easy, but Steve Sarkisian<\/a>\u2018s bunch defeated Ole Miss<\/a> 34-27 on Saturday night in Austin. The Longhorns took a 24-3 lead into the break, but Ole Miss battled back to tie the game at 24-24 in the 4th quarter. <\/p>\n

However, Texas\u2019s defense running game took over from that point onward. UT scored 10 points to take a 34-24 lead, which proved to be enough despite a successful onside kick from the Rebels in the game\u2019s final minutes. <\/p>\n

The Rebels made it as far as the 29-yard line, but were unable to find the end zone for a game-tying touchdown. <\/p>\n

Arch Manning had an up-and-down evening. He threw for a touchdown and ran for 2 more, including the game-winner. However, he also conceded a scoop-and-score touchdown in the second half and threw a pair of interceptions. <\/p>\n

Texas running back Raleek Brown was the star of the show offensively. Brown rushed for 118 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the night. The Longhorns combined to rush for 121 yards on 12 carries in the 4th quarter alone. <\/p>\n

The UT defense also helped keep Ole Miss superstar Trinidad Chambliss in check all night long. Chambliss finished with 250 passing yards and 3 interceptions on 52 attempts, making it one of the worst games of his college career. <\/p>\n

Texas will host Mississippi State<\/a> next weekend. <\/p>\n
