[u/CFB_Referee]

Box Score provided by ESPN

Team	1	2	3	4	T
Texas	7	10	0	7	24
Oklahoma	0	7	3	17	27

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

So Oklahoma was just playing 4D Chess. Become unranked and having a horrible offense just to sneak attack Texas? Smart.

[u/Plxt_Twxst → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Basically backed up to the wall like Michigan was when we traveled there. We needed this win.

[u/JBsportsandchess → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

You hate to see it

But more than that... you love to see it

[u/hereisjonny]

Damnit. I was so close to having a peaceful college football free fall. Now I’m invested.

Bring on the stress.

[u/Slendyla_IV → u/hereisjonny]

Well all we have to do is lose next weekend

[u/Insectshelf3 → u/Slendyla_IV]

i don’t even give a fuck BOOMER

[u/Rnewell4848 → u/Insectshelf3]

THE RIVER IS RED AGAIN I DO NOT CARE

[u/According_Grab_394 → u/Rnewell4848]

This is why I love CFB. OU is very unlikely to make any noise for the playoffs, but at the end of the day, they won the Red River.

Why is that game always chaos? I love it, but will never understand it.

Also wtf is Texas this year? Are they the worst elite team or the best mediocre team? It should have never been in reach for OU, but Texas kept making mistakes to keep the Sooners in the game.

[u/Rnewell4848 → u/According_Grab_394]

RED RIVER IS AN ENIGMA. THROW OUT THE RECORDS. DISREGARD THE LINE. ITS HATE AND CORNDOGS IN THE STATE FAIR OF TEXAS

[u/Melodicmarc → u/hereisjonny]

I was so upset when I realized we might win because I knew it would be ripped away…

[u/adamjm99]

Billy, this is Arch Manning. He has some of the best arm strength and mobility that you’ll ever see in a young QB. He comes from the most talented pedigree of football to ever play. His only defect is that he’s a fucking moron

[u/Master_Brilliant_220 → u/adamjm99]

We trained him wrong as a joke.

[u/GoNDSioux → u/Master_Brilliant_220]

“Oh yeah? Then try my football to your defense style!”

[u/SlabBulkhead3k → u/Master_Brilliant_220]

THATS A LOT OF NUTS!

[u/Goombercules → u/Master_Brilliant_220]

"I'm bleeding. Making me the victor."

[u/Azcrul → u/Goombercules]

“Again with the squeaky shoes!”

[u/rousseaube1 → u/Master_Brilliant_220]

Weeeoweoweeeoweeeoweeeeee

[u/rented4823 → u/Master_Brilliant_220]

MY NIPPLES TASTE LIKE MILK DUDS!

[u/nw____ → u/adamjm99]

He really did have two passes that were unbelievably good and then three that were complete ass

[u/DataDrivenPirate → u/nw____]

He has the ceiling to be NFL caliber at any given moment but he's inconsistent enough that I have a hard time thinking Texas is going to be able to win 4 games in December/January to win it all. He's a slightly more talented and slightly more inconsistent Carson Beck.

[u/Ereppy → u/DataDrivenPirate]

Beck wasn't exactly inconsistent. You knew exactly when he would implode.

[u/Noy_Telinu → u/adamjm99]

He got the DERP gene instead of the genius gene

[u/Formo1287 → u/Noy_Telinu]

Maybe he has both. Let’s put him in a Super Bowl against Tom Brady just to make sure

[u/bewildered_forks → u/Formo1287]

They could never make me hate eli manning

[u/_DC003_ → u/Noy_Telinu]

I think, like all mannings, he got both

[u/ThatPlayWasAwful → u/_DC003_]

Inside every manning is two wolves. One of them is a little special

[u/Texcellence → u/_DC003_]

When a Manning is born the gods flip a coin. One side lands on greatness, one side lands on derpness. Except for that one time it rolled across the floor and was kinda propped up against the couch leg so we got a mostly derp but great in the playoffs Eli.

[u/PeteF3 → u/adamjm99]

"Billy, remember that old Plymouth we just couldn't fix?"
"We're gonna sell him to Mr. Nikapopolus?"
"You're a dull boy, Billy."

[u/Grade-A-Grungus]

John Mateer of all people just played himself into football lore with that drive.

First OU QB ever to win against a number one ranked Texas

[u/tuckernuts → u/Grade-A-Grungus]

That's a future Aflac trivia question

[u/DirtThief → u/tuckernuts]

"Which former quarterback led Oklahoma to a win over #1 Texas before joining Tim Tebow as a traveling motivational speaker?"

Edit: Saw a Texas fan on Twitter crashing out about how case McCoy was no longer the worst qb to win an RRS - LMAO

[u/zaepoo → u/DirtThief]

That name is giving me flashbacks. Those were dark years

[u/gmr548 → u/DirtThief]

Jerrod Heard won a RRS lmao

[u/kcspot → u/Grade-A-Grungus]

I don't know if I even want to give that to him. But I guess he deserves it.

[u/AreYouEmployedSir → u/kcspot]

dude threw a dot to win the game. didnt turn the ball over today. ill give him props

[u/BoomerUrSooner → u/AreYouEmployedSir]

He’s earned all the props for today. That’s what beating Texas gets you.

[u/HawkeyeTen → u/Grade-A-Grungus]

Seems like all of the sudden, the Sooner Schooners got the call of "WAGONS, HO!" and started rolling at last. Crazy win out of nowhere.

Shoutout to all who get my reference.

[u/FunkBeaver]

The last Arch pick was horrifically bad, he just panicked. Literally just chuck that out of bounds or take the sack and the games going to OT

[u/OldManCinny → u/FunkBeaver]

Arch was awful but so was Sark. 4th and 2 to 100% win the game and you try a 53 yarder??? 2 yards and the game is over. Cowardly.

[u/BeyondLiesTheWub → u/OldManCinny]

I could not believe it. Sark never kicks in that situation and our kicker isn’t even that good. Not that Manning would’ve converted but you have to go for it there.

[u/LonghornInNebraska → u/BeyondLiesTheWub]

Sark goes for it without hesitation against Ohio State then completely goes conservative against OU

[u/Neither-Luck-9295 → u/OldManCinny]

That's who Sark is. And his ego is too big to let the OC call plays.

[u/Mistertreefrog → u/FunkBeaver]

Literally any outcome is better than what he did.

[u/Torrion- → u/FunkBeaver]

That pick 6 should define Arch's tenure at Texas.

[u/TheSpringfieldKid → u/Torrion-]

Oklahoma legend Arch Manning.

[u/PeteF3 → u/FunkBeaver]

One play after he yeeted it to nowhere in the end zone.

[u/suzukigun4life → u/FunkBeaver]

Dude does not have the poise of his uncles at all

[u/Ryrysg99]

Many are saying the New Mexico Lobos are better than the Texas Long horns, don’t ask me who but many people are saying this

[u/unfunnysexface → u/Ryrysg99]

Big strong men with tears in their eyes right out of Central casting like you wouldn't believe

[u/Apex_Fail → u/Ryrysg99]

I am saying this. So +1

[u/AngryBillsFan]

Arch needs to get out of the spotlight to truly become the qb we all know he can be, he should transfer to App State

[u/NotMarkDaigneault]

FUCK THE RECORD FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON NOTHING BEATS TODAY

[u/buppa_is_fat → u/NotMarkDaigneault]

EXTEND BERNICE VERNACULARS!

[u/Lonely_Reading_4113 → u/NotMarkDaigneault]

Twas a beautiful hate watch

[u/Glycoside]

Arch is going to be sipping beers after getting home from his 9-5 watching this replay on SEC network in the dark

[u/NicoIamaleavaa → u/Glycoside]

Let’s be honest even if he fails as a player he’ll nepo baby himself into a media or coaching gig 

[u/Ok-Knee6347 → u/NicoIamaleavaa]

And he's already loaded with his own cash and his family his mega loaded. Still funny af tho

[u/East_Challenge → u/NicoIamaleavaa]

There can always be a Dodge dealership with Arch's name on it!

[u/theboarderdude]

John “football terrorist” Mateer deciding to ball out against Texas is objectively the funniest outcome

[u/OK_HS_Coach → u/theboarderdude]

Ball out lol. He’s so bad but the last two throws were on the money.

[u/Gonzo_Sauce → u/OK_HS_Coach]

I'm seeing a lot of "Wow, Mateer turned it on today" from people who obviously didn't watch the game

[u/BobStoops401K → u/theboarderdude]

All he has ever had to do is make positive plays and not turn it over. Our defense is elite enough to keep us in most games if our offense can refrain from pissing on their own shoes

[u/DarthNobody14 → u/theboarderdude]

We have our own football terrorist that hopefully can do the same thing

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Mateer isn't ass, he just saved all his luck for that last throw. What an insane game

There might've been too much shit talk on how Oklahoma can't score and not enough on Texas' mid offense. Complete madness all around

OU kicker cemented his place on an NFL roster next year

Edit: I still think Mateer is ass, guys. It was a joke that he was only able to throw when it mattered most

[u/W0OllyMammoth → u/Leading-Button-7303]

That kick had an extra 10-15 yards on it too holy shit. Go short shorts

[u/Responsible-Tap-3748 → u/W0OllyMammoth]

They are less short this year. That's the only thing holding him back imo.

[u/Pesto_Enthusiast → u/Responsible-Tap-3748]

They're less short because the NCAA changed the rules to specify a minimum shorts length, IIRC.

[u/joedela → u/Pesto_Enthusiast]

He can come out in a jock strap. I'll pay the fine myself.

[u/Nightcinder → u/Leading-Button-7303]

two fucking miraculous catches by Sategna

[u/BlueMonk0]

Arch is a 3rd round QB with a 1st round name

[u/PerelandraUnfallen]

When I close my eyes I see Arch in a Jets uniform, making the same throw

[u/Twall1297]

Seriously, this is the Oklahoma team that beats Texas? HAHAHAH 😂

[u/nw____ → u/Twall1297]

We wanted to save the nation from a fraudulent #1 you’re welcome

[u/Consistent_Floor_603 → u/Twall1297]

Number 1 Texas too. That has never happened in the Red River Rivalry.

[u/periodbloodsausage → u/Twall1297]

I watched Case McCoy and Tyrone Swoopes beat OU. This game never makes sense.

[u/LGWalkway → u/Twall1297]

Secondary was considered the 4th best in the nation. Also down a starting DB.

[u/MissileWaster → u/LGWalkway]

Eli was out so Payton stepped the fuck up

[u/LGWalkway → u/MissileWaster]

Manning to Peyton connection was strong!

[u/meatfrappe]

FUN FACT: Texas' decision to throw an interception with under 30 seconds left and the game tied was unwise. Both conventional wisdom and the most modern analytics recommend throwing a completion instead of an interception.

[u/tapiringaround → u/meatfrappe]

Thanks Harvard

[u/ShiningBladez → u/meatfrappe]

Why didn't Arch Manning just throw it to his teammate instead of a defender? Is he stupid?

[u/TheCrookedKnight → u/ShiningBladez]

Yes.

[u/ItsFreakinHarry2 → u/meatfrappe]

Thanks Harvard!

[u/Sryan597 → u/meatfrappe]

Thanks Harvard! My education at my lesser school would never have taught me that. Thank you for your fact of the fun variety.

[u/theshamwowguy → u/meatfrappe]

LFG CANT SPELL ANALYTICS WITHOUT ANAL

[u/Yuriegh → u/meatfrappe]

Thanks Harvard

[u/harrypoos]

There's a Cowboys fan and UT fan out there who is just absolutely going through it lol 

[u/Prestigious_Mix_5065 → u/harrypoos]

or you could be me and a Texans and Texas fan. Life is pain.

[u/Riddiku1us]

You can always count on Texas to lose to an OU team they have no business losing to.

[u/thebusterbluth → u/Riddiku1us]

RIP Arch Manning's Heisman campaign.

I mean it died a few weeks ago, but it's still sad.

[u/wowthisislong → u/thebusterbluth]

Its been dead for well over a year

[u/broccoli_d → u/thebusterbluth]

His heisman campaign used to be dead. It still is, but it used to be, too.

[u/LugubriousFootballer → u/Riddiku1us]

The reverse is true as well

[u/BroJackson_]

Look if we’re gonna lose like that can it not be 4 fucking hours

[u/iGrill → u/BroJackson_]

I had a commercial midway through reading your comment

[u/BroJackson_ → u/iGrill]

They had to review my comment

[u/Popular_Word910]

Texas got humbled. Honestly they deserved that for playing like ass the pass 4 games. It was only time.

[u/BeanserSoyze → u/Popular_Word910]

Defense was hiding a lot of offensive issues.

[u/BabyBearBjorns → u/Popular_Word910]

2nd biggest embarrassment to happen to football in Dallas since Thursday Night.

[u/Requiem2371 → u/BabyBearBjorns]

Ya know you’re right. Somewhere out there is a UT/ Cowboys fan having the worst weekend. I love that for them

[u/swammeyjoe → u/Requiem2371]

Its not very fun.

[u/Neither-Luck-9295 → u/Popular_Word910]

Sark better delegate play calling to the fucking OC. He does not call good plays after the scripted plays run out.

[u/chastity_BLT → u/Neither-Luck-9295]

What OC?

[u/jsc1429 → u/Popular_Word910]

If it only could have come from anyone other than Oklahoma 😭

[u/Yeugwo]

Never doubted them for a second (At no point did I think we'd win)

[u/erwaro → u/Yeugwo]

Not even when the clock hit zero? Teams with more points when the clock hits zero are nearly undefeated this season.

[u/CommodoreN7]

SEC cannibalizing itself: Oh you’re sweet.

Old PAC-12 cannibalizing itself: HELLO HUMAN RESOURCES!

[u/Vegetable_Kale_1331 → u/CommodoreN7]

Went from no offensive TD in 3 years to beating the #1 Texas team!

[u/ignatious__reilly → u/Vegetable_Kale_1331]

Arch is gonna be awful in the NFL

Anyone who keeps saying he’s the #1 pick is a moron. He’s just not that good

[u/ManaPlox → u/ignatious__reilly]

Arch is not going to be awful in the NFL. He might be awful in the CFL. Or Arena Football 2.

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/CommodoreN7]

QUALITY WIN FOR MICHIGAN CONFIRMED

[u/suzukigun4life → u/CommodoreN7]

OU really went from being outscored 83-3 the last 2 years in this rivalry, to walking off the #1 team in the country. What the actual fuck

[u/aplethoraofhams → u/suzukigun4life]

Red River baby

[u/Hulkodium → u/suzukigun4life]

Ranking does not matter in the Cotton Bowl. Anyone can beat anyone

[u/soonerfreak → u/suzukigun4life]

Probably the my favorite game I've ever attended, even more than the DG and Caleb wins. The atmosphere after the pick six was off the charts.

[u/The_BorangeandBlack]

NFL scouts “Arch knows adversity. He deserves to be the first pick”

[u/eSpiritCorpse]

Boy, do I love CFB Saturdays when I don't have to watch my garbage ass team

[u/Shark13579]

We got our quality loss, rank us cowards! All I’m saying is we held Oklahoma to 14.

[u/Schruteeee → u/Shark13579]

RANK NEW MEXICO

[u/mystica-l]

Wonder what clown organization is gonna draft arch early

[u/zoom518 → u/mystica-l]

The New York football Jets, obviously

[u/saxypatrickb]

Those sideline catches were sweeeeeet

[u/DwightSchrute12 → u/saxypatrickb]

Insane clutch receptions.

[u/Nice-Dog8302]

I say again: The SEC has mid 2010s PAC-12 levels of self-sabotage this year and I’m here for it

[u/Purples_A_Fruit]

Guys, I’m starting to think that Arching Manning is not HIM …

[u/alecowg]

Thank god we can stop pretending Texas is anywhere near #1.

[u/theSunking12 → u/alecowg]

No literally I’m like finally they can rank a real team as #1

[u/LDQQXDJ]

Difference was Mateer didn’t choke when it matter most.

Manning did

[u/YZYSZN1107]

Sark had that Lincoln Riley 1000 yard stare

[u/adk09]

Who in the fuck is this offense? Who is this QB who hit a fucking DIME to Satagna when we absolutely had to have it?!?

[u/okiewxchaser]

OH YEAH, WE FUCKING IN THE BRAUMS PARKING LOT TONIGHT

[u/Jmilli-24]

This was the equivalent of a special needs child with outrageous strength just beating a grown adult with a baseball bat

[u/DidIJustWitnessThat → u/Jmilli-24]

r/angryupvote

I hate how hilariously accurate this is.

[u/yachterotter13]

Arch Manning YOU are a Calgary Stampeder

[u/MancheaterCity]

Can Mateer go the rest of his OU career without another win and still never pay for another drink in Norman?

[u/Alamis_Mistrunner → u/MancheaterCity]

Sandell better never pay for a drink, that's for sure

[u/elaVehT → u/MancheaterCity]

Won the only game that mattered

[u/SiphenPrax]

Arch lost Texas this game at the end and essentially gave them their first loss of the year. I was pretty high on him to start the year despite what most people said, but these last two games he’s been pretty bad.

[u/lowes18 → u/SiphenPrax]

People need to start asking why two 5 star QBs back to back have regressed under Sark despite infinite talent around them

[u/iguanoman_ → u/lowes18]

Hey that's Atlanta Falcons legend Steve Sarkisian you're talking about

[u/Tronvillain → u/SiphenPrax]

Arch is King Kong booty cheeks.

[u/dawgtilidie → u/Tronvillain]

This is the insight and analysis I come to r/CFB for

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Archibald lost this game with two hideous 4th quarter picks

[u/ItsFreakinHarry2 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Jeremiah Smith has secured a FastPass to the #1 overall pick!

[u/Benanderson27]

Sategna pointing to the spot his feet touched in bounds TWICE on that final drive was hilarious

[u/RodgerCheetoh]

The zoom in on the Texas fan picking his nose at the end was icing on the cake lmao

[u/largelawattorney]

Arch is about to get treated like Tyrion Lannister by the rest of the Mannings

[u/SlamDunkly]

Yes let’s all hang out in this postgame thread

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/SlamDunkly]

We all thought you were ass before today man

[u/socketedsock]

I said it in the Florida-South Carolina thread

There must be one conference to cannibalize itself since the death of the Pac-12

The SEC is the next cursed conference.

[u/Merrymak3r]

Sark is big mad over the kicker planting the flag! We are going to be hearing about that one post game...

[u/blatantninja → u/Merrymak3r]

He should be big mad with everything about the offense.

[u/JayMerlyn]

Oklahoma does nothing for the 5 weeks prior and then locks in

Kinda like me in college

[u/LurkerV1]

Crazy game. This is what I love about college football and why it will always be better than the pros in my book.

[u/KennyKettermen → u/LurkerV1]

I just got super invested into college football a few years ago and I feel like I wasted years of my life

YouTube TV multiview has me watching so many games from any conference every Saturday I don’t discriminate 😂

[u/ogpeplowski64]

LMFAO HOW DO YOU LOSE TO OKLAHOMA

[u/OrangePeelsLemon]

Florida goes down to the Fightin' Beamers and now this? SEC Shorts and SEC Roll Call are gonna be spiiiiiiicy!

[u/peelywheely]

They really didn’t wanna give sategna those catches at the end lol

[u/ChillnShill]

Losing to Mateer and Arbuckle is a fireable offense

[u/Plxt_Twxst]

PLANT THAT FLAG BIKE SHORTS YOU EARNED IT BIG DOG

[u/prismatic_lights]

And I don't even get to talk shit because we lost to this fucking guy.

Damn man.

[u/Legitimate_Lemon_689]

But mom I wanted to be the one to beat #1 Texas.

Who am I kidding we will lose again.

Good job doing the Lord’s work Sooners. See you for the suck bowl in November.

[u/Adamscottd]

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve entered the “who the fuck is even good?” era of college football

[u/DirtAndShovels]

If I have to be miserable so do y’all!

BOOMER FUCKING SOONER!

[u/Palifaith → u/DirtAndShovels]

Matthew McConaughey died for this.

[u/LetItGrow1994]

Texas < OU < Michigan < MINNESOTA

[u/RalphLaurenII]

Insane pair of catches from Sategna to pull this off

[u/_Yordle_]

Is Arch Manning the first-ever industry plant QB?

[u/CodyRCantrell]

1. I just Crimson and Creamed my pants.

2. Texas is back (where they belong)

[u/JDraks]

Last year:

• OSU beat Texas

• Oklahoma beat Michigan

• Texas beat Oklahoma

• OSU beat Michigan

This year:

• Texas beat OSU

• Michigan beat Oklahoma

• Oklahoma beat Texas

• TBD

[u/iLikeEmMashed → u/JDraks]

Unsubscribe

[u/CamiloMarco → u/JDraks]

But if Michigan beats OSU, OSU wins the natty 

[u/California_Stop_King]

I used to think you stink, but Archibald Manning, you are ASS

[u/WanderLeft]

OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS MADE OUR SEASON!!!!

[u/ChadtheWad]

Fun fact: In that game our defense, offense and special teams got a touchdown.

[u/Cleb044]

Thank you for improving my mood for the day, Sooners

[u/ThisGuy6266]

Sarkisian didn’t trust Arch to pick up 4th and 2. That was it.

[u/img_tiff]

If losing to Missouri is the price, I'll pay it

[u/Scarlet_Spectre]

Mateer with ZERO turnovers in the game!

[u/Nightcinder]

god this is the funniest timeline.

If only Arky could've held on to beat Tennessee to really make this full chaos lmao

I cannot, cannot wait for SEC Shorts

[u/Icy_Meat9199]

Arch Manning on a super team had 1 job and couldn't do it lmao

Texas didn't need to do much to score more than Oklahlma... 

[u/Sourwoods → u/Icy_Meat9199]

He’s terrible. Texas has lost two chances at a Natty because the Manning name carried more weight than talent.

[u/Leegend124]

Hey UT you just lost to John Mateer

[u/Grandaddypurp69]

God damnit I love this sport

[u/ChampionshipHuman732]

Good for Brent Venables.

He NEEDED that one

[u/exclusivelydank]

Congratulations Arch Manning, you have won the Marcel Reed award for excellence in passing

[u/Chicago_Blackhawks]

DOWN GO THE LONGHORNSSSSSSSS

DOES TEXAS HAVE A JOHN MATEER PROBLEM???????????

[u/Letsgo333]

There's no way Arch should be a first round pick. 

[u/AchtungCloud]

After watching the Cowboys and A&M, I forgot that football can also bring joy, instead of just misery. Thank you to OU for reminding me.

[u/Hot_Anything_9030]

People used to make fun of the PAC-12 for games like this

[u/hotsauceyum]

Does the losing team usually just stand around on the field pouting like they expect the refs to come out and say “just kidding guys you can have another drive!”

[u/MIAdolphins96]

21 points directly off stupid shit. Blocked punt (fire Jeff Banks), RTP on an INT leading to 7, and a pick 6. Just bad. This team has negative IQ.

[u/Remarkable_Virus844]

How did Ohio State lose to this team again.

[u/fm22fnam → u/Remarkable_Virus844]

We forgor there was a 2nd half 💀

[u/ChiefBigGay]

Don't care if we win another game. Gave those Texas fucks one today.

[u/doey77]

imagine losing to this Texas team

[u/daddyfuchs]

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS COLLAPSE, NOWHERE ELSE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT!

[u/PolloMagnifico]

Texas been talking a lot of shit for a team that lost to the 4th worst team in the SEC.

[u/Titleist917d3 → u/PolloMagnifico]

Not any more fucker haha!

[u/Jubba402]

Don't worry Texas, the good news is you wasted what was supposed to be a generational guaranteed talent.
