24 years ago today: Two blue blood programs met on Owen Field.
OU trailed Alabama with less than three minutes remaining, but Renaldo Works helped save the day with arguably the biggest play of his career.
A 39-yard play on a shovel pass got OU inside the 10 and Kejuan Jones scored on the next play.
A defensive score to end it helped the Sooners prevail 37-27 over Bama.
