From the Press Box: Texas vs. Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl

DALLAS – Another classic between Texas and Oklahoma in the Red River Showdown ended in a 55-48 Sooners win. Texas led 38-20 at halftime and 41-30 to start the fourth quarter, but the Longhorns couldn’t hold onto either lead as poor offensive line play prevented Casey Thompson and Bijan from finding the success both achieved in the first half. 

Oklahoma rallied back to take a 48-41 lead with 7:10 left in the game. It was the Sooners’ first lead of the game. The Longhorns rallied back with Thompson finding Xavier Worthy for a touchdown pass with 1:23 left, but the defense couldn’t hold Oklahoma and the Sooners took a lead with a touchdown run with three seconds left in the game. Worthy finished with nine catches for 261 yards and two touchdown catches.
