1:51 left in 2Q: Texas 14, OU 3 | Michael Hawkins Jr. fumbles
Michael Hawkins Jr. made his first big mistake as OU’s quarterback.
In the final two minutes of the second quarter, Hawkins took off on a scramble, and had it ripped from his hands by Texas’ Anthony Hill Jr. to give the Longhorns the ball in OU territory with a chance to extend their lead before halftime.

2:21 left in 2Q: Texas 14, OU 3 | Longhorns recover fumble in end zone for touchdown
OU looked like it caught a big break.
But after a fumble into the end zone by Quintrevious Wisner, Texas’ Silas Bolden raced in to recover the fumble in the end zone for the touchdown.
Wisner broke away for what looked like a 36-yard touchdown run but the Sooners’ Robert Spears-Jennings chased him down, knocking the ball free just outside of the goal line.
The ball seemed destined to bound out of the back of the end zone, but Bolden sprinted into the end zone to recover the fumble in front of Danny Stutsman.
The play was the second of back-to-back massive plays for the Longhorns, as Quinn Ewers hit Ryan Wingo for a 44-yard gain just before Wisner’s run.
Texas is outgaining OU 157-24 in the second quarter after the touchdown.
