Oklahoma Stuns No. 1 Texas With Last-Second Field Goal

The loss cost Texas its top ranking and exposed late turnovers and special‑teams breakdowns that the program must fix before its next game.

Overview

  • The Red River Rivalry ended when Tate Sandell drilled a 47‑yard field goal as time expired to give Oklahoma a 27-24 win.
  • The game, played Saturday, Oct. 10, turned on two fourth‑quarter Arch Manning interceptions, including a Peyton Bowen pick‑six, and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown.
  • Texas outgained Oklahoma 382 to 238 but missed a 53‑yard field goal and suffered special‑teams miscues that directly swung the score.
  • Poll voters punished the Longhorns, dropping Texas from No. 1 to No. 6 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, and commentators sharply criticized Manning, the kicking game, and coaching decisions.
  • Oklahoma earned a signature rivalry victory — its first over an AP No. 1 since 2007 — while Texas now faces urgent questions and a home game vs. Florida to show whether it can rebound.
