The Red River Rivalry lived up to the hype on Saturday as Oklahoma knocked off No. 1 Texas, 27-24, thanks to a walk-off 47-yard field goal from Tate Sandell as time expired.
While Sandell will get the glory for making the kick, and while there were a couple of huge throws from John Mateer to Isaiah Sategna to set up the field goal, the biggest story from the fourth quarter is going to be the absolute crunch-time meltdown from Texas quarterback Arch Manning.
Arch Manning’s fourth-quarter meltdown was big difference for Texas, Oklahoma
Manning did some good things on Saturday, throwing three touchdowns and averaging over eight yards per pass. He had his team in several positions where it could have possibly won and maintained its spot on top of the rankings.
But he made two absolutely crushing throws in the fourth quarter that swung the game away from Texas.
The first was a pick-six early in the quarter that gave Oklahoma a 24-17 lead.
