Oklahoma upsets No. 1 Texas on Tate Sandell’s game-ending 47-yard field goal

Dallas — Tate Sandell’s 47-yard field goal sealed the game as Oklahoma defeated the No. 1 Texas team 27-24 in Saturday's Red River rivalry match. The Sooners accomplished this feat for the first time since their 38-17 victory over Missouri in 2007; prior to this, they had lost four and won only once against top-ranked Texas. Despite Arch Manning’s performance, with three touchdowns, both of his interceptions played crucial roles in the outcome.

Texas had two late opportunities, but Gianni Spetic missed a 53-yard field goal attempt with 1:55 remaining. After a string of unsuccessful drives for the Sooners, Texas quarterback Manning threw an interception to Omarion Robinson with 19 seconds left, leading to the Sooners' scoring opportunity. The Sooners capitalized on special teams touchdowns and defense, advancing to the Oklahoma 39-yard line.

John Mateer connected with Isaiah Sategna on two crucial 13 and 20-yard passes, both confirmed through replay review. Sandell, who had previously hit a 53-yarder and missed another from the same yardline, ultimately secured the win with his game-ending field goal. Oklahoma will face the SEC opponent, Kentucky, in their first home game next Saturday.

Meanwhile, Texas will host Florida (4-2, 2-2) on the following Saturday, having lost two consecutive games.
