The Oklahoma Sooners appeared to be trying to get in position for a game-winning field goal against Texas at the Cotton Bowl in the Red River Rivalry.
Kennedy Brooks was not going to leave the Sooners’ fate to the foot of a kicker.
With the game tied at 48-48 and seconds remaining, Brooks took off and scored on a 33-yard touchdown run. There were 3 seconds left and soon after OU had a 55-48 victory and its fourth win in a row over the Longhorns in the classic rivalry.
Oklahoma trailed at one point 28-7 and scored 35 points in the second half.
