In a sloppy game marred by turnovers and penalties, Oklahoma finally, mercifully, managed to beat arch rival Texas in four overtimes 53-45. The game lasted over five and a half hours. With less than four minutes left in the game, and down 14 points, Sam Ehlinger valiantly led the Horns back to tie the game 31-31. Both teams missed field goals by normally highly accurate kickers that extended the overtime periods. The game ended with Oklahoma intercepting a Texas pass in the end zone, ending a brilliant but frustrating record of 1-4 against the Sooners in Ehlinger's career.
