A clutch 47-yard field goal by junior Bert Auburn to take a 30-27 lead with 1:17 remaining wan’t enough for the No. 3 Texas Longhorns to leave the Cotton Bowl in Dallas with a victory in Saturday’s Red River Rivalry when the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners rallied with a five-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to drive a dagger through the hearts of the burnt orange faithful in attendance with the 34-30 defeat.
The game saw the Longhorns have a chance to win it late despite losing the turnover battle 3-0 and facing a massive deficit in red-zone scoring — in six trips into the red zone, the Sooners scored 34 points with a touchdown rate of 66.
