One of these days the Oklahoma football team has to learn that games are not over until they’re over.
When this year’s annual rivalry game with Texas was over, however, it was the Sooners planting their flag at the 50-yard line in the Cotton Bowl.
The Sooners let a 14-point advantage over Texas get away over the final five minutes of the 116th edition of the Red River rivalry on Saturday and then had to endure four overtime sessions before finally putting the Longhorns away, 53-45.
