A win is a win, and the Oklahoma football team is not apologizing for the way its dramatic four-overtime Red River win over Texas came about on Saturday.
It’s unfortunate that only 24,000 fans were in attendance Saturday in the Cotton Bowl for what will go down as an epic Red River Showdown battle between these two longtime rivals.
No telling how long this game might have lasted had the OU’s Tre Brown not come down with Sam Ehlinger’s overthrown pass to the end zone in the fourth overtime to seal the deal for the Sooners.
