Tate Sandell drills a 47-yard game-winner as Sooners erase 10-point halftime deficit, score in all three phases and hand top-ranked Longhorns their first loss.

DALLAS | Tate Sandell kicked a 47-yard field goal as time expired, lifting Oklahoma to a dramatic 27-24 victory over No. 1 Texas on Saturday in the 122nd Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl.

The Sooners (3-2, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) overcame a 10-point halftime deficit and scored touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams to defeat a top-ranked opponent for the first time since beating Missouri 38-17 in 2007.

Oklahoma's defense forced two second-half interceptions of Texas quarterback Arch Manning, including a crucial takeaway by Courtland Guillory that set up the winning drive before a capacity crowd of 92,100.

Quarterback John Mateer connected with Isaiah Sategna III for gains of 13 and 20 yards along the Texas sideline, moving Oklahoma into field-goal range with nine seconds remaining. Both completions survived replay reviews.

After Mateer positioned the ball on the left hash and Oklahoma called timeout with three seconds left, Sandell delivered the game-winner, securing the second walk-off field goal victory in program history.

The dramatic finish capped a fourth-quarter comeback that saw Oklahoma erase a 17-10 deficit.

Lloyd Avant tied the game on a 2-yard touchdown run just 12 seconds into the final quarter. Moments later, Peyton Bowen intercepted an overthrown pass from Manning and returned it 42 yards for a touchdown, giving the Sooners their first lead at 24-17 with 10:07 remaining.
