Texas quarterback Arch Manning returned from a concussion a week earlier to pass for 328 yards and three touchdowns, including a 75-yard connection with Ryan Wingo on the first play, to lead the No. 20 Longhorns over No. 9 Vanderbilt 34-31 on Saturday in Austin.

Texas (7-2, 4-4 SEC) led 34-10 in the fourth quarter before Vanderbilt (7-2, 3-2) staged a desperate rally behind quarterback Diego Pavia’s touchdown run, 67-yard scoring pass to Eli Stowers and a final touchdown toss to Richie Hoskins with 33 seconds left.

The Vanderbilt rally ended when the Commodores’ onside kick bounced through several players and rolled out of bounds.

at No. 1 Ohio State 38, Penn State 14: Julian Sayin completed 20 of 23 passes for 316 yards and four touchdowns for the Buckeyes (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten), who pulled away from the Nittany Lions (3-5, 0-5) in the second half. Sayin joined Geno Smith (West Virginia, 2012) as the only Football Bowl Subdivision players since 1985 to have three games in a season with at least 300 yards passing, three touchdowns, no interceptions and a completion rate of at least 85%.
