Though he was part of the Longhorns ' efforts to tie the game, he didn't finish the game: He sustained an injury in overtime that kept him in the medical tent through the conclusion of the contest. Manning ultimately didn't need to return, as backup Matthew Caldwell threw the game-winner to put Texas ahead for good.
