And after OU missed a field goal, ISU took the lead on Trever Ryen’s 57-yard catch-and-run.

They tied it at 24 on a pass to Marchie Murdock. OU scored a touchdown, forced a three-and-out, and scored a touchdown again to go up 14-0.

You almost couldn’t blame OU for taking their eye off the ball. Oh, and this was 11 years after these teams met in their epic Rose Bowl national championship, giving it a game-of-the-week atmosphere the whole time. He threw a laser touchdown on the first play, and following a short Texas touchdown, USC forced a fumble in 2OT, setting up Chase McGrath (the most USC name) to kick the game winner. In overtime, Darnold was who we hoped he’d be. The teams traded punts and turnovers until a bonkers final minute that saw Texas drive to go up three after an Ehlinger touchdown, then saw USC drive for a game-tying field goal, with Gus Johnson justifiably freaking out. The first half was a nightmare offensively, but a Texas pick-six (not Darnold’s fault!) kept the Horns in it.

In the first road start for Texas freshman Sam Ehlinger, he was a bit erratic, but made impressive throws, particularly to Collin Johnson. Two weeks after getting gashed by Maryland (!), Texas stonewalled USC’s lethal Ronald Jones attack, forcing Sam Darnold to beat Texas’s biggest strength alone.
