Sophomore quarterback Sam Ehlinger threw two touchdowns and rushed in three more while leading No. 19 Texas to a 48-45 thrill-a-minute victory over No. 7 Oklahoma on Saturday in Dallas.
Even though the Sooners have been drastically better than the Longhorns in recent years, this game has still delivered the goods. It was the fifth consecutive rendition of the Red River Showdown to be decided by a one-possession margin, and this matchup produced more total points (93) than any previous matchup between the two programs.
For a while, it seemed like Texas would break that streak of close games with a blowout victory.
