The comeback that fell short
Opponent: Texas
The situation: The Sooners had cut what was a 21-point halftime deficit to 14 with 8:28 remaining, then Oklahoma's defense forced a punt but the Sooners needed another quick score.
Key moment: Kyler Murray pulled off perhaps his most electric play of the season, tight-roping down the sidelines for a 67-yard touchdown run on the first play after the punt to put the Sooners right in the thick of it. Texas wound up winning on a last-second field goal, but Murray's touchdown opened the door for the Sooners to tie it late and with the razor-thin margin Oklahoma made the playoff by, the fourth-quarter comeback that turned the Oct.
