No. 3 Texas dropped a thriller to No. 12 Oklahoma, 34-30. Texas seemed to be gaining momentum in the fourth quarter, driving down the field to the one yard line.
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian then called three straight runs up the middle and ended up losing a yard. On 4th & goal on the Oklahoma two-yard line, Quinn Ewers completed a one-yard pass to Xavier Worthy and was stopped.
Sarkisian commented on the failed red zone attempts and said this.
“We’ve got to game plan better. We’ve got to execute better. It’s pretty simple.”

That drive ended up being costly, as Texas needed points that drive to tie the game.
We will have to wait two weeks to see how Texas responds, as the Longhorns don’t play until Oct. 21 when they face the University of Houston.
