Dillon Gabriel and No. 12 Oklahoma were out for revenge against No. 3 Texas, and it showed in a dramatic 34-30 victory.
Last year, with Gabriel sidelined, the Longhorns embarrassed the Sooners 49-0 in the annual Red River Rivalry. But this time around, Gabriel was able to lead Oklahoma to a thrilling win in a game that came down to the final minute.
The Sooners went 6-7 last year, its first season under Brent Venables following Lincoln Riley’s shocking departure to USC. In the early part of the season, the Sooners had not been tested as they posted comfortable victories over overmatched competition. Texas would tie the game by blocking an Oklahoma punt and recovering it in the end zone for a score. And that was only six minutes into the first quarter.
Early in the second half, it seemed like Oklahoma had seized control of the game. On the Sooners’ first drive of the third quarter, they marked 75 yards in 13 plays and grew the lead to 27-17 on a Tawee Walker touchdown run.
