Anyway, congrats to the Sooners.  They played faster and hit harder.

But Texas self-destructed in so many ways, I really like our chances in case of a rematch.  Sort of the reverse of 2018 season where the better team "on paper" lost the first game, and then came back and won the second.

Damn. Totally unexpected finish but very thrilling.

Lots of football left to play in the Big 12. The irony is neither team may make it back to the CCG.

See you both in the SEC.

I'll be surprised if BOTH teams don't make it back.  Not because both are great (although I think both are pretty good) but mostly because the rest of the B12 is just SO terrible this year.

Surprisingly, outside of Georgia, the SEC looks pretty bad this year too.  Strange season.

I agree.  Lots of football left but both teams are heavily favored in their remaining games.  It seemed to me OU had better team speed but UT was more physical and it showed in the 4th quarter.  Coaching was excellent on both sides.  Sooner special teams sucked.
I think it is likely UT would win a rematch in the CCG but I want to see it played.

It was a game of two heavyweights, for the first time in a long time.  I want to see MORE of that, but of course with Texas winning more often than not. :)

Best of luck the rest of the season, unless/until we meet again in December.

Same here.  I hope both teams get healed up & stay healthy for the rest of the season.  We lost our leading WR for the season and starting RG, CB and backup CB for an unknown amount of time.  Glad it is a bye week.
