Dave: A Sooner win for the ages
One quarterback made two crucial mistakes in the fourth quarter to lose the game. The other quarterback made two crucial throws in the fourth quarter to win the game.
Before kickoff, which quarterback would you have guessed was which? I would venture to say most, if not all fans would tell you Mateer made the mistakes and Manning made the throws.
Welcome to the Red River Rivalry. At this point it sounds cliché to say throw out the records and point spreads, anything can happen. But sometimes that is truly the case.
No one I saw in the media or elsewhere picked the Sooners to win this game.
But Oklahoma came in with a plan. Very conservative on offense and let the defense roll.
It paid off. Oklahoma played error free and let texas make the mistakes. Two turnovers for the longhorns and zero for the Sooners, along with a blocked punt recovered for an Oklahoma touchdown and there’s your ballgame.
It was one for the ages that OU fans will remember for years to come.
