No. 7 Texas answered. Arch Manning hit Cam Coleman for a 9-yard touchdown with 4:21 left in the fourth quarter, and Gianni Spetic's extra point cut Florida's lead to 27-24 in Austin.

**As of 3:08 PM ET (4:15 - 4th), Florida leads 27-24.** Follow every snap on our [live play-by-play](https://www.gatorstandard.com/live-florida-at-texas-play-by-play/) and the [Game Day hub](https://www.gatorstandard.com/game-day/).

### The drive

According to ESPN's game data, Texas went 75 yards in six plays and 2:01\. Florida's L.J. McCray sacked Manning for a 6-yard loss on the first play, and the Longhorns faced fourth-and-6 at their own 33\. Manning then found Emmett Mosley V deep down the left side for 62 yards to the Florida 9\. Jeramiah McCloud broke up a pass on first down, and Manning hit Coleman over the middle on the next snap. Zach Abolverdi of Gators Online [called it](https://x.com/ZachAbolverdi/status/2111534435590139984?ref=gatorstandard.com) "a big play and a TD pass" that cut the deficit to 3.

### What Florida needs

Texas trails by a field goal with just over four minutes left, so a kickoff and a defensive stand are both on the table. For Florida, the job is simple and hard: move the chains and drain the clock. Jadan Baugh and the run game produced the 27-17 lead, and first downs would force Texas to burn its timeouts.

ESPN's game data now has Manning 14 of 20 for 173 yards and a touchdown. Florida leads 311-279 in total yards. (Earlier: [Baugh Scores, Gators Lead No. 7 Texas 27-17 in the Fourth](https://www.gatorstandard.com/baugh-scores-gators-lead-texas-27-17-fourth-quarter/).)
