Oklahoma Tops No. 1 Texas 27-24 on Tate Sandell's Final-Play Field Goal

Oklahoma scored twice on defense and once on special teams, then converted Texas turnovers into the game-winning kick as Arch Manning threw two interceptions.

  • On Saturday, Oklahoma Sooners kicker Tate Sandell made a 47-yard field goal as time expired, handing No. Texas Longhorns their first loss of the season in a 27-24 Red River rivalry game.
  • Overcoming offensive ineptness, Oklahoma relied on special teams and defense, with Dakoda Fields recovering a blocked punt in the end zone and Peyton Bowen returning an interception 42 yards for a touchdown.
  • Texas quarterback Arch Manning threw three touchdowns and completed 19 of 31 passes for 260 yards, but two costly fourth-quarter interceptions ultimately decided the narrow defeat.
  • Reporter Jeff Beachum criticized head coach Steve Sarkisian's play-calling decisions, while analysts called the loss the worst of his tenure, prompting some to suggest modifying his duties.
  • This defeat deals a major blow to the Longhorns' College Football Playoff standing, forcing the team to regroup before hosting Florida next Saturday at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin.
