College football fans would be hard pressed to find a better showing of defensive fortitude than the jaw-dropping effort No. 12 Oklahoma displayed against No. 3 Texas on Saturday.
With the Sooners up 27–20 early in the fourth quarter, Longhorns running back Jonathon Brooks attempted to power in a 1-yard touchdown to even the score. After getting stuffed for no gain on his first two attempts, Brooks, with fourth down looming, geared up for another plunge.
However, Brooks’s third attempt would instead go for a loss of a yard, amazingly setting up a incomplete pass from quarterback Quinn Ewers that resulted in a turnover on downs.
