Oklahoma Stuns No. 1 Texas In Wild Red River Rivalry Finish

Oklahoma pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the college football season Saturday, knocking off No. 1 Texas 27-24 in a thrilling Red River Rivalry showdown at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

The Sooners entered the game unranked with a 2-2 record but rallied from a 17-7 halftime deficit to hand the Longhorns their first loss of the season.

Oklahoma's defense and special teams came up with several game-changing plays, including a blocked punt returned for a touchdown and a 43-yard pick-six by Peyton Bowen that gave the Sooners a 24-17 lead in the fourth quarter.

Texas quarterback Arch Manning answered with a touchdown drive to tie the game at 24, but his second interception of the fourth quarter gave Oklahoma one final opportunity.

Quarterback John Mateer connected with Isaiah Sategna III on two crucial completions to move the Sooners into field goal range, setting up Tate Sandell's game-winning 47-yard kick as time expired.

The victory improved Brent Venables' squad to 3-2 and marked Oklahoma's first win over Texas since 2023. The Longhorns dropped to 4-1.
