Two turnovers in the first quarter for Texas led to a 10-0 lead for Oklahoma.
Field goal OU. Terrific read on the edge by B.J. Foster to knock Rambo down before he can make the catch. OU forced to take a 19-yarder, early 3-0 lead.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Touchdown OU. Mims just ran across the field. Wide. Open. Incredible. Nobody in the same zip code. That's a 30-yard score. Holy moly. Sooners up 10-0.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
OU already has 118 yards compared to Texas' 21. I was too quick to say "Awful start for OU," obviously. My apologies, Boomers.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
OU already having its way with Texas, which has had a lost fumble, a poor punt and a wide-open WR for OU so far.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) October 10, 2020
An interception for Texas in the first quarter led to a field goal in the second quarter.
Field goal Texas. C Derek Kerstetter flagged for a personal foul, a 15-yarder, after Ehlinger appeared to get the first down. But Dicker still gets connects, and OU's lead cut down to 10-3.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
A fumble by Rattler gave Texas the ball back and they took advantage, tying the game at 10 with 11:44 left in the first half.
Touchdown Texas. QB Power. Ehlinger takes it straight up the gut from 6 yards out for his 9th rushing TD vs. OU. Huge pass interference call helped the Horns there. Tied up 10-10. 11:44 2Q.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Texas' two takeaways put the Horns back into this game. That was Ehlinger's ninth TD rushing against OU in his career.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) October 10, 2020
Texas got a break there. Ball didn't look catchable. Ehlinger cashed in. #Horns tie it at 10-10.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) October 10, 2020
That was Sam Ehlinger's ninth touchdown run against Oklahoma. The Longhorn with the next-most against the Sooners is Ricky Williams, who had five. #HookEm
— Danny Davis (@aasdanny) October 10, 2020
A blocked punt led to a touchdown for Oklahoma, giving the Sooners a 17-10 lead with 6:48 left in the half.
Texas punter Ryan Bujcevski's having a rough day. Took extra steps and got it blocked. He's not having a good year.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) October 10, 2020
Touchdown OU. Major gets around the left end, gets a block and just runs for the corner. Pretty easy score for the Sooners, who now lead 17-10.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Texas tied it at 17 with 4:15 left in the half.
Touchdown Texas. Ehlinger with some darts to Black, Whittington. OU also flagged for pass inf. on Moore. Then, QB1 just punches it in himself. Tied up again, 17-17. 4:14 2Q.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Halftime in Dallas: Texas 17, OU 17. This game… woof.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Oklahoma got on the board first in the second half after a big punt return set up a touchdown.
A nice Bujcevski punt, but OU's Mims returns it with a nice run. And now Bujcevski draws a flag for some extra shoving!
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Texas just squandering one opportunity after another: not cashing in on great field position at end of 1H, sputtering and 3-and-out on first 2H series; giving up huge punt return with a field goal. Not good.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) October 10, 2020
Touchdown OU. Rattler is back in at QB. HIs dump-down to Pledger set it up. Then, Pledger just pushes and shoves his way in from 1 yard out. Again, this drive is on Texas' special teams. OU leads 24-17.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Texas RB Roschon Johnson will not return to the game because of a shoulder injury, per @craigway1.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Oklahoma added to its lead with 1:27 left in the third, capping a 17-play drive with a touchdown.
Touchdown OU. A methodical 17-play, 88-yard drive zapped the Horns' energy. Takes 8:07 off the clock. OU crushing it on third down (6 of 11). Rattler gaining confidence after getting benched. OU leads 31-17. 1:27 3Q.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
That's an impressive drive by the Sooners, going 87 yards in 17 plays and consuming 8:07 of clock.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) October 10, 2020
End of the 3Q: OU 31, Texas 17. Horns in danger of losing their seventh game as a ranked opponent to a non-ranked foe under Herman.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Touchdown Texas. Moore on a crossing route sneaks in and hits the pylon from 9 yards out. Back to a one-possession game with 3:28 left. OU leads 31-24.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Touchdown Texas. Ehlinger to INGRAM! Holy moly. He comes out of the backfield and catches a 2-yard score.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Overtime in Dallas: Horns battle out of 14-point hole, its tied 31-31. Win, lose or draw, I can't wait to hear Riley's reasonings for that third-down pass.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
OT coin toss. Ta'Quon Graham out there for Texas. OU wins the toss. Texas will get the ball first.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Touchdown Texas. Ehlinger rolls to his right, nobody open. He keeps it himself, goes in for the score. Horns take their first lead of the day.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Texas leads 38-31 in OT but Oklahoma will get the ball next. One stop and the Horns will have a rather incredible comeback win.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Touchdown OU. Stogner just jumps and out-muscled Adimora for an 11-yard score. Sooners will kick it here and force double OT. Tied at 38-38.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Touchdown OU. Rattler keeps it himself, goes right up the middle for a 3-yard score. Sooners back in front.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Touchdown Texas. Ehlinger just runs wild, cuts to the left and goes down the sideline. 25 yards out. Wow.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
OU's extra-point conversion is good. Rattler with a bullet throw. OU leads 53-45 here in 4OT. Horns must get a TD + 2-point conversion.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
INTERCEPTED TEXAS. That's game over.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) October 10, 2020
Final: Oklahoma 53, No. 22 Texas 45. (4OT)
Texas rallied in the 4th quarter, but OU got it done in four overtimes. Perhaps appropriately, Drake Stoops' 25-yard TD was the difference.
Texas (2-2) has lost eight of its last 11 meetings with the Sooners at the Cotton Bowl. #HookEm pic.twitter.com/qEXEuzVNvM
