No. 1 Texas falls in Red River Rivalry stunner as Oklahoma wins on field goal as time expires
Arch Manning threw a costly pair of fourth-quarter interceptions, one returned for a TD and the other setting up the winning field goal, as No. 1 Texas was stunned by Oklahoma.
In a stunning upset, unranked Oklahoma defeated No. 1 ranked Texas 27-24 in the Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday. Tate Sandell, an award-winning kicker, secured the victory with a 47-yard field goal as time expired. Oklahoma's defensive back Courtland Guillory intercepted Texas' Arch Manning with 19 seconds remaining, leading to Sandell's game-winning kick.
Earlier in the game, Texas' Gianni Spetic missed a 53-yard field goal attempt that would have put the Longhorns ahead with 1:54 left. Oklahoma's John Mateer scored both touchdowns in the fourth quarter, one on a 42-yard interception return by safety Peyton Bowen, marking Manning's first career pick-six. Despite Texas' impressive performance in the first half, the Sooners ultimately outplayed the Longhorns in the second half, aided by a questionable pass interference call that allowed Oklahoma to start the fourth quarter with a first down at the 2-yard line and Lloyd Avant scoring a rushing touchdown to tie the game at 17-17. Texas took a 17-7 lead into halftime after Spetic's 23-yard field goal in the second quarter.
