An improbable Red River Rivalry comeback win — one for the ages
The Sooner train left the Norman Depot on Friday morning at 8:45 am. The train crashed early in the first quarter in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
And then the Sooners (a/k/a the “Cardiac Kids”) got off the train and beat Texas 55-48 in the biggest comeback win in Red River Rivalry history.
The comeback was marshaled by true freshman QB Caleb Williams and energized running back Kennedy Brooks.
