Oklahoma put together a remarkable fourth quarter to pull off a stunning upset win over No. 1 Texas in the 122nd edition of the Red River Rivalry.
Trailing 17-10 entering the fourth quarter at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, the unranked Sooners outscored the Longhorns 17-7 the rest of the way to emerge with a 27-24 walk-off victory.
With 24 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the game was tied 24-24, and Texas had a second-and-10 at Oklahoma's 49-yard line. Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning proceeded to throw a pass that was intercepted by Courtland Guillory at Oklahoma's 39-yard line with 19 seconds remaining.
Four plays later, Oklahoma kicker Tate Sandell nailed a 47-yard field goal to walk it off.
ESPN's Sean McDonough and Greg McElroy had the television call for ABC.
As is frequently the case on his enthusiastic calls, McDonough's voice cracked as the Sooners picked off Manning.
And the same thing happened for McDonough on his call of Sandell's walk-off field goal.
On the Sooner Sports Network, Oklahoma play-by-play announcer Toby Rowland delivered an electric radio call of Sandell's game-winning kick.
Rowland: "Sandell steps it off. To win Red River. Snap back, hold down, kick is away, driving kick. It looks good! It is… GOOD! IT IS GOOD! YOU CAN UNHITCH THE WAGON! PUT THE PONIES IN THE BARN! THE SOONERS KNOCK OFF NUMBER ONE TEXAS IN THE COTTON BOWL! OOOOH MAMA! TATE SANDELL FROM FORTY-SEVEN!"
The Manning interception was one of two he threw in the fourth quarter. The other was a pick-six that the Sooners' Peyton Bowen brought back 42 yards to give Oklahoma the lead with 10:07 remaining.
Oklahoma Spanish-language radio announcers Enrique Vasquez and Alex Parra went wild as Bowen returned the interception for a touchdown.
And here was their call of Sandell's walk-off field goal:
Texas calls to 4-1 with the loss, while Oklahoma improves to 3-2 and gets an enormous victory after a disappointing start to the season.
