Amid the usual raucous backdrop in Dallas, Oklahoma scored a last-minute touchdown to beat Texas in the Red River Rivalry.
Oklahoma wide receiver Nic Anderson scored the game-winning touchdown Saturday against Texas. DALLAS — The winners at the State Fair of Texas included some Bourbon Banana Caramel Sopapillas, a Deep Fried Pho, a crossbred steer named Bryce, college football itself and especially Oklahoma, which just bobbed back upward in the national fray with a closing 75-yard drive as dreamy as Cornbread Sausage Bombs.
That’s where Gabriel came along before he made a fashionable transfer tour to Orlando and Norman , and that’s where they no doubt trembled and hoped as he and his Sooners took the ball with 77 seconds remaining and Texas freshly ahead 30-27.The 92,100 in the Cotton Bowl, the usual half-crimson and half-burnt orange, saw 1:17, the clarity surely helped by the routine public address announcement of the circumvention of beer sales after the third quarter.
“Starting the drive out right, trying to create a completion,” said Gabriel, who played three seasons at UCF before two now at Oklahoma. The light that must have visited Gabriel’s eyes right then seemed almost visible from the top of the stadium. Behind whatever little scrap happened near the front of the end zone, Anderson turned up in back. The football hurried then on a merry arc from Gabriel’s left hand to Anderson’s lonely arms. The crimson half of the rink, surrounding that very end zone, started bouncing yet again.
