Oklahoma 53, Texas 45: The expanded boxscore
Posted October 10th, 2020
How it all happened Saturday at the Cotton Bowl:
First quarter
Oklahoma 10, Texas 0. Things started out great for Texas — a shaky OU three-and-out to start the game — but soon went downhill: A Keaontay Ingram fumble, a blown coverage on a Sooners touchdown pass and overall offensive malaise. But the quarter ended on a high note: DeMarvion Overshown picked off Spencer Rattler’s third-and-9 effort and returned it to OU’s 17-yard line on the final play.
OU: Gabe Brkic 19-yard field goal (9:34)
OU: Marvin Mims 30-yard pass from Spencer Rattler (Brkic kick, 6:47)
Second quarter
Halftime — Texas 17, Oklahoma 17. The second quarter was OU’s to lament. Rattler’s ill-advised second turnover of the game — his curious flip of the ball to avoid a sack was ruled a fumble that Juwan Mitchell plucked inside the red zone — was his final play of the half. His right arm was being looked at on the sideline as Tanner Mordecai took over for OU. Sam Ehlinger’s two scoring runs helped even things at the break.
Texas: Cameron Dicker 33-yard field goal (13:40)
Texas: Sam Ehlinger 6-yard run (Dicker kick, 11:44)
OU: Marcus Major 7-yard run (Brkic kick, 6:58)
Texas: Ehlinger 2-yard run (Dicker kick, 4:14)
Third quarter
Oklahoma 31, Texas 17. Rattler returned for the Sooners, sparking two scoring drives to open the second half that ended with short T.J. Pledger runs. Rattler made nice plays via a pass and a scramble on a 17-play, 87-yard drive that made it a 31-17 game. That drive at up 8:07 of clock.
OU: T.J. Pledger 2-yard run (Brkic kick, 11:40)
OU: Pledger 1-yard run (Brkic kick, 1:27)
Fourth quarter
End of regulation — Texas 31, Oklahoma 31. Just like in Lubbock, Ehlinger directed two late scoring drives to in the final minutes just to force overtime, finding Joshua Moore for his fifth touchdown of the season and then Keaontay Ingram for the tying score with only 14 seconds left.
Texas: Joshua Moore 9-yard pass from Ehlinger (Dicker kick, 3:28)
Texas: Keaontay Ingram 2-yard pass from Ehlinger (Dicker kick, :14)
Overtime
Final — Oklahoma 53, Texas 45. The overtime itself was a game within a game, as both sides traded touchdowns. There was a missed field goal by Cameron Dicker and a subsequent shanked miss by Gabe Brkic for the win. Ehlinger’s pick in the end zone in the fifth overtime sealed it.
Texas: Ehlinger 3-yard run (Dicker kick)
OU: Austin Stogner 11-yard pass from Rattler (Brkic kick)
OU: Rattler 1-yard run (Brkic kick)
Texas: Ehlinger 25-yard run (Dicker kick)
OU: Brkic 31-yard field goal
OU: Drake Stoops 25-yard pass from Rattler (Theo Wease pass from Rattler)
