Oklahoma faced its first actual test of the season on Saturday afternoon. The Sooners rose to the occasion as they defeated their rivals, the Texas Longhorns, in an instant classic 34-30 at the [autotag]Cotton Bowl[/autotag] in Dallas, Texas.
The game was wild from start to finish, but Oklahoma remained steady despite the roller coaster of emotions and the adversity it had to face during the game. Oklahoma eventually came out on top thanks to an all-time drive with less than 1:30 left on the clock and no timeouts by the Sooners offense.
The win guarantees Oklahoma the tiebreaker over Texas for the remainder of the regular season. It also gives the Sooners a signature win to validate them to the rest of the college football world.
The Sooners had to have nearly legendary performances from several guys to pull off the win. Without further ado, here are our three stars from Oklahoma’s win over Texas.
