Yes, you read that right. A year after giving a humiliating performance in the Cotton Bowl to help fuel a Texas upset, OU’s defense stymied the the Longhorns and their star quarterback Sam Ehlinger for the better part of four quarters. UT gained 310 yards on 74 plays, an average of just 4.2 yards per snap. OU sacked Ehlinger nine times on the day.
Missed tackles, banged up defenders, and a masterful game plan by Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley were the stories of the game when the Sooners had the ball.
