How Arch Manning and No. 1 Texas handed Red River victory to Oklahoma with mistake after mistake

The top‑ranked Texas Longhorns entered the Red River Rivalry as 7.5‑point favorites but fell 24‑23 to Oklahoma after a cascade of errors. A blocked punt recovered for a touchdown gave the Sooners their first score, and eight penalties costing 61 yards extended an Oklahoma drive that tied the game at 17‑all late in the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Arch Manning threw two interceptions in the final period, one returned for a pick‑six that leveled the score at 24, and Texas missed a 53‑yard field‑goal attempt with under two minutes left.

Oklahoma’s kicker Tate Sandell sealed the upset with a game‑winning field goal as time expired. Texas coach Brent Venables saw his team squander the lead despite early advantage, while penalties on defensive backs, including a roughing call on John Mateer and pass‑interference on Kade Phillips, kept the Sooners alive.

The loss highlighted costly miscues that turned a promising start into a narrow defeat.
