Sooners rally late to take first-half lead on Texas in Big 12 Championship

The rematch is living up to the hype.

The Oklahoma Sooners’ offense finally came alive at the end of the first half to take a 20-14 lead on the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 Championship game at AT&T Stadium.

Kyler Murray hit Grant Calcaterra for a six-yard pass with 18 seconds left in the half.

The Longhorns led 14-6 for much of the half behind two rushing touchdowns from quarterback Sam Ehlinger. But Murray and the Sooners scored two touchdowns in the final 5:01 of the first half.

Ehlinger scored on a 16-yard run after the Longhorns drove 75 yards on their first possession to take a 7-0 lead.
