The Texas-Oklahoma game was truly memorable.  Drama from start to finish.  In the end, the Sooners made the plays when it mattered most and prevailed 34-30 with a TD at the 0:15 second mark of the fourth quarter.  The Red River Rivalry lived up to its billing.  These teams will probably meet again at the end of the regular season.

imo bonehead time management by sarkisian cost the game. tied with 4:42 left, sark has texas run hurry-up despite all 3 time outs left and kicks the field goal with 1:17 left. that gives oklahoma plenty of time to tie the game with a field goal and just enough time for a td, which they got.

(i am in austin visiting a college friend, therefore rooting for texas)

Good analysis.  Sark should have burned more time and made that FG come a lot later.  OU had used all its TOs.  Sark also failed to go for the kill down close and went conservative on 3rd down to set up the FG.  If his defense had done its job, the strategy might have worked.  But a string of big chunk plays and the PI penalty gave OU the chance to close it out.
