Sooners win on Rattler TD pass in 4th OT

DALLAS » Spencer Rattler threw a 25- yard scoring pass to Drake Stoops in the fourth overtime, and Oklahoma survived a late rally from No. 22 Texas in regulation for a 53- 45 victory Saturday as a most unusual version of the Red River rivalry ended with familiar dose of drama.

Rattler’s successful completion on the required 2- point conversion didn’t matter when Sam Ehlinger’s pass was intercepted in the end zone by Tre Brown to end just the second Big 12 game to go four OTs.

Ehlinger threw two touchdown passes in the final 3: 28 of regulation after what appeared to be a game- sealing interception by Woodi Washington in the end zone with the Sooners leading 3117 with five minutes remaining.

After tossing a 2- yard score to Keaontay Ingram with 14 seconds left in regulation, Ehlinger opened overtime with his third rushing TD, from 3 yards.

Rattler answered with a an 11yard touchdown pass to Austin Stogner, then plunged over from the half- yard line on fourth down after his initial scoring run was overturned over review to start the second OT.

Ehlinger’s career- best fourth touchdown run forced the third overtime, but the Longhorns ( 2- 2, 1- 2 Big 12) couldn’t avoid a second straight loss.

The Sooners ( 2- 2, 1- 2) had a chance to win in the third overtime, but Gabe Brkic’s 31- yard field goal attempt was wide left after Perrion Winfrey blocked Cameron Dicker’s 33- yard try to start the extra period.
