Gabriel Leads Sooners On Epic Final Drive To Upend Longhorns, 34-30

No. 12 Oklahoma pulled off the 34-30 upset over No. 3 Texas in an incredible, deep-fried, bacon-wrapped thriller of a Red River Rivalry football game that began with chaos and ended with ... you guessed it, chaos.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers got off to a sluggish start with two interceptions in the first quarter but heated up in the second half helping lead the Longhorns back from a 10-point deficit late in the third quarter. Finally, with 1:17 left on the clock, Ewers and the Longhorns kicked a 47-yard field goal to take a 30-27 lead, their first they since going ahead 14-10 in the second quarter.

Too much time was left on the clock, however. OU QB Dillon Gabriel went 4 of 4 for 58 yards in the final 75 seconds, finishing with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Nic Anderson with 15 seconds left to give the Sooners the lead right back.

Gabriel was outstanding in the win, finishing the day with 285 yards passing in addition to the the game-winner. He also rushed for a career-high 113 yards and a touchdown on the ground as well. Gabriel is the first Sooner to throw for at least 200 yards, rush for at least 100 and score a rushing touchdown in the same game since Jalen Hurts did so in the 2019 season ... also against the Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl.

Ewers finished with 346 yards passing and set a school record with 19 consecutive completions, but his two interceptions and fumble ultimately cost the Longhorns the game.
