Last time Orange Coast College Kyle Manning started at LeBard Stadium, he was replaced by his backup Ethan Whitsell after throwing two interceptions on 1-of-6 completions.On Halloween night, Manning is not watching from the sidelines and instead leading the Pirates' comeback charge.
In the opening driver, Manning guided Coast to a 6:50, 13 play, 69 yards drive that was capped by another one-yard Ray Holley touchdown.
Score is 38-14 in favor of Saddleback.

Orange Coast College football team has fumbled the ball four times, gave up 179 total offensive yards, star running back Ray Holley is averaging less than three yards a carry and the lone interception was returned for a 62-yard touchdown. This has led to a nice gift for the Saddleback College Gauchos as they are up 38-7 on Halloween night.
On a bright note, Coast's Kyle Manning is throwing the ball well (9-of-15 for 155 yards).
Pirates will have the ball to start the second half.
Orange Coast College's football team (5-2, 1-2 in the National Division) will host Saddleback College (6-2, 2-2) at LeBard Stadium on Halloween night at 7 p.m.Both teams lost last week: the Pirates to Grossmont College 43-12 and the Gauchos to Fullerton College 22-13.
The No. 12 ranked Pirates are led by running back Ray Holley (pictured) on offense (1,048 yards, 11 TDs rushing) and by linebacker Jimmy Keating on defense (49 tackles, nine for loss).
Coast's run defense is ranked No. 2 in the state with a 42.1 yards per game allowed average.
However, the passing defense last week was torched for 416 yards.
Another weakness of the Pirates is its passing game. Coast quarterbacks have completed only 36.8 percent of their passes with 13 interceptions to three touchdown passes.
Saddleback, ranked No. 11 in SoCal and No. 17 in the state, is led by running back Jai Morris (pictured) with his 110.1 all-purpose yards per game average on offense.Morris, quarterback David Ingram (157.9 passing yards per game) and wide receiver T.J. Knowles (73.9 yards per game) led a potent Saddleback offense that averages 35.6 points per game.
This game will be covered live on the OCC Sports Blog and Twitterstarting at 7 p.m. today (Oct. 31).

Before the game, Tony Altobelli picked you as the player to look out for today and you came through with the game-tying and winning run. Any comments on that?
It's exciting to hear that somebody's looking forward to seeing me succeed.
What was different about today?
It's just like any other day. I did feel a lot more relaxed at the plate, trying to be more patient.
Talk about the suicide squeeze in the eight inning.
One of the coaches threw me a verbal, the third baseman was playing back, so I took advantage of the opportunity.
You guys are on a nine-game winning streak. Comments?
We're hot right now. Long as we keep it up, it'd be good. Our bats are really alive, the pitchers are throwing well and playing really good defense.
