After four quarters wasn’t enough between these two teams, the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma State Cowboys would need overtime. Texas would be playing in their third overtime game in just five conference appearances. After not having a catch all game, Joshua Moore catches the touchdown to give the Longhorns a lead in the overtime session. The play was set up after the Longhorns were gifted a pass interference call.
The Longhorns defense would force a fourth down with a game on the line for Oklahoma State. Joseph Ossai seals the game with a sack of Spencer Sanders to end the game 41-34. The win gave the Longhorns their first road win over a top 10 team since 2010. With all of the turmoil surrounding the Longhorns, they desperately needed the win.
It was a back and forth game between Texas and Oklahoma State like many expected. Maybe not the way it unfolded, but it was a Big 12 slugfest that needed more than four quarters to decide the game. The Longhorns defense was able to create four turnovers that gave this offense life. Despite putting up a total of 41 points, the offense had no consistency as a unit.
Defensively they gave up plenty of yards but the turnovers were able to level the playing field. With the game on the line, the Longhorns were able to drive the field and Sam Ehlinger found Jake Smith to take the lead, a two-point conversion would give them the three point lead that came in handy. With no timeouts and less than 90 seconds on the clock, Oklahoma State drove for the tying field goal.
Ehlinger would finish 18/34 passing for 169 yards and three touchdown passes. He found Brennan Eagles, Smith and Moore for the three scores. He was able to give the Longhorns leads to ultimately win this game but it was Ossai who was the closer in this game.
It was a wild game where if you look at the stats, it is hard to fathom how the Longhorns won this game. It boiled down to the turnovers and Ehlinger rising to the occasion.
