FEI Week 6: Sooners Rally Punctuates Weekend of Comebacks

At the end of the first quarter on Saturday in Dallas, the Oklahoma Sooners trailed the Texas Longhorns by a score of 28-7. Texas had connected on a 75-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the game, added a pair of short-field touchdown drives, and connected on a 48-yard touchdown pass late in the quarter, combined with stifling defense that forced three Oklahoma three-and-outs in between. The Longhorns were thoroughly dominating the Sooners on both sides of the ball through nine possessions, holding an advantage of 10.5 yards per play and a commanding available yards percentage advantage (74% to 23%).
