DALLAS — Spencer Rattler sprinted across the Cotton Bowl turf.
His objective?
Catching Tre Brown.
Not many people can run down the speedy OU defensive back, but Rattler wasn’t about to give up the chase. The Sooner quarterback wanted to be there to celebrate with Brown once he stopped. Wanted to thank his teammate for finally bringing this wild game to an end.
OU 53, Texas 45 in four overtimes.
In a year when everything has been turned on its ear, the Red River Rivalry was not spared. There were things coming into Saturday that we knew would be weird that were every bit as odd as we thought — no State Fair of Texas, little traffic on the highways and byways leading to Fair Park, few people inside the Cotton Bowl — but the strangest thing of all was the game.
