Overview

  • Oklahoma, which upset No. 1 Texas on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, sealed a 48-yard game-winning field goal by Tate Sandell as time expired at the Cotton Bowl.
  • The Sooners scored twice on defense and special teams, including a blocked Texas punt returned for a touchdown that swung momentum in Oklahoma’s favor.
  • Texas quarterback Arch Manning completed a clean statistical game with 124 passing yards and two touchdowns but the Longhorns suffered critical special-teams mistakes.
  • Oklahoma overcame pregame concerns about turnovers and inconsistent offense by leaning on Brent Venables’s defense and timely kicking to win as an underdog.
  • The result — televised on ABC and coming after Texas entered the game favored by roughly 7.5 points — is likely to alter short-term College Football Playoff perceptions for both programs.
