Oklahoma edges Texas in Red River Rivalry with last-minute kick
Summary

Oklahoma came from behind to tie the game at 24-all before kicker Tate Sandell made the game-winning field goal as time expired, handing No. 1 Texas its first loss of the season in a dramatic Red River Rivalry matchup on October 10, 2026. Texas led 17-7 at halftime but made several critical mistakes, including a blocked punt returned for a touchdown and two costly turnovers by quarterback Arch Manning in the fourth quarter. Despite having opportunities to secure a win, Texas missed a 53-yard field goal attempt before Manning's second interception ended the game. The Longhorns remain in contention for the College Football Playoff though their path is now tougher after losing to an unranked rival.
