You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
In the SEC, Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns are making serious noise in the College Football Playoff picture. Manning struggled for most of the night in Baton Rouge, but when it mattered most, he found Raleek Brown for the game-winning touchdown, gutting out a road win over LSU that tightens Texas's grip on the top of the conference standings.
That win puts Lane Kiffin's Tigers in a difficult spot. Kiffin came in with big expectations and a villain's swagger, but through the bulk of his first season, LSU has looked more like a disappointment than a threat. Standing on that sideline, hands on hips, watching Manning celebrate — that image says everything about where this program currently stands.
Meanwhile, up in Chapel Hill, Bill Belichick's first college season took an ugly turn when his UNC squad and Louisville couldn't keep it clean after the final whistle. The game ended in a full brawl, which is not exactly the brand of football the legendary coach was hoping to put on display as he builds this program from the ground up.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
