Texas' Arch Manning puts loss to Ohio State on his shoulders: 'I've got to play better for us to win'

The young quarterback put the loss on his shoulders.

Texas had more than 27 minutes of possession and outgained Ohio State 336-215. But the offense struggled to execute in the red zone when it got inside the Buckeyes' 20-yard line. The team turned the ball over on downs in the red zone twice in the second half.

Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian defended Manning in his postgame chat with reporters. He credited Ohio State's defense.

"They've got a good scheme," he said. "They've got a very smart secondary, and they made Arch work. I thought at halftime, Arch having a chance to really sit and look at the tape and understand some of the coverages they were playing, I think that helped him into the second half."
