Oklahoma upsets No. 1 Texas on Tate Sandell’s game-ending 47-yard field goal
Dallas (AP) — Kentucky’s Tate Sandell sealed a 27-24 victory over No. 1 Texas in the Red River rivalry with a 47-yard field goal on the final play. The Sooners, who had been 0-4-1 against top-ranked Texas before this game, finally broke the long losing streak. The victory marked Oklahoma's first win over a No. 1 team since a 38-17 triumph over Missouri in 2007.
Arch Manning led the Longhorns with three touchdown passes, but both of his interceptions proved pivotal. Texas missed a crucial 53-yard field goal attempt with 1:55 remaining, and Gianni Spetic missed another deep attempt from the same distance. The Sooners capitalized on the miss, with John Mateer connecting with Isaiah Sategna on two 13 and 20-yard passes, both upheld under replay review.
Texas managed to tie the game at 24-24 with 19 seconds left, but Omarion Robinson intercepted Manning’s last pass, allowing Sandell to seal the win. Oklahoma will host Kentucky next Saturday in their first SEC home game, while Texas travels to face No. 16 Florida, which has lost two straight games.
