Red River chaos: Oklahoma knocks off No. 1 Texas 27-24 on a field goal as time expires after two late Arch Manning interceptions

Oklahoma capitalized on two fourth-quarter interceptions from Texas QB Arch Manning to beat the No. 1 Longhorns 27-24 on a field goal by Tate Sandell as the clock hit zero.

The Sooners had the chance to get Sandell in position for the game-winning 47-yard kick thanks to two incredible catches from Isaiah Sategna III after Courtland Guillory intercepted Manning with 19 seconds to go and the game tied at 24-24.

Guillory's pick came as Texas was seemingly setting itself up for a game-winning field goal of its own. Texas had the chance to take the lead with 1:54 to go, but Gianni Spetic's 53-yard field goal attempt sailed just wide right.

Oklahoma punted the ball back to the Longhorns after failing to get a first down. But Guillory's pick gave Oklahoma new life, and Sategna made the most of the opportunity.

The Sooners' top receiver made two fantastic catches along the sidelines to get Sandell into field goal range.

The Sooners' win means that seven of the last 14 meetings between the two teams have been won by the team lower in the AP rankings at the time of the game. Though Texas was favored in 2025, the unranked Longhorns took down the No. 6 Sooners 23-6.

Manning's first interception of the fourth quarter was the first pick 6 of his career. With the game tied at 17-17, Manning sailed a deep pass that was picked off by Peyton Bowen, who returned it 42 yards for a 24-17 lead.

However, Manning and Texas immediately bounced back. The Longhorns needed just seven plays to go 75 yards thanks to a deep pass from Manning to Cam Coleman. Manning then found Jermaine Bishop Jr. for a 15-yard TD to tie the game.

The Sooners' offense has been a mess for most of the season. There was little chance that Oklahoma's offense could keep up without some help from the other units.

And not only did OU get a defensive touchdown, its first score of the game came on a blocked punt, too. Dakoda Fields fell on a blocked punt just milliseconds before he slid out of the back of the end zone to tie the game at 7-7 in the second quarter.

Oklahoma won the game with just 238 yards of total offense. Mateer finished 18-of-26 passing for just 155 yards, and outside of Lloyd Avant's 72 yards, the rest of the OU offense had 11 yards rushing.

The Texas offense continues to underachieve

Look, Oklahoma has a great defense. We're not going to take away anything from that side of the ball. But Texas' offense has looked more pedestrian than spectacular through the first five games of the season.

Sure, some of that is opponent-driven. In addition to OU, Texas has played and beaten Tennessee and Ohio State. But it's hard not to think that Texas hasn't come close to its ceiling on offense.

Manning now has five interceptions in five games, while the run game continues to average less than 4 yards a carry despite the offseason additions of Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers. Manning's connection with Coleman, a transfer from Auburn, is obvious, but Manning is averaging fewer than 8 yards an attempt.

Barring an incredible turnaround in the second half of the season, Manning isn't going to sniff the Heisman in 2026. And both he and Texas' offense will need to be better to get the Longhorns back in the playoff. Though Florida will fall out of the AP Top 25 on Sunday thanks to its loss to South Carolina, Texas' next five games are all against teams that entered Week 6 in the top 17 of the AP poll.

Oklahoma, conversely, could have saved its entire season with the win. Yes, there are serious questions about the offense — and it's impossible to rely on defensive and special teams touchdowns — but the Sooners were assuredly out of the College Football Playoff with a loss to the Longhorns. Now, OU still at least has a fighting chance for another week or more.
