达拉斯棉花碗上演红河德比：俄克拉荷马27比24绝杀头号种子德州
当地时间10月10日（周六），第122届红河对抗赛在达拉斯棉花碗球场上演。在德州州博览会的热烈氛围中，非排名的俄克拉荷马以27比24绝杀排名第一的德州，爆出本赛季大学橄榄球最大冷门之一。
比赛最后时刻，泰特·桑德尔47码任意球压哨命中，一锤定音。在此之前，四分卫约翰·马蒂尔打出了本赛季最冷静的一战：全场零失误，并在最后13秒带领球队推进到德州48码线，一记精准传球找到外接手以赛亚·萨特尼亚三世拿下首攻，为绝杀铺平道路。终场哨响后，马蒂尔冲进端区插上俄克拉荷马旗帜，随后乘上传统的篷车马车绕场，戴上了象征胜利的金帽。
“我不敢相信这一切，”马蒂尔赛后笑着说，还对着观众席比出牛角朝下的手势。主教练布伦特·维纳布尔斯称赞道：“他把四分卫的工作做得非常出色，保护好球权，打出了互补的团队橄榄球。在必须出色的时候，他非常非常出色。”
俄克拉荷马防守组同样功不可没，两度抄截德州四分卫阿奇·曼宁。值得一提的是，去年此时，马蒂尔在拇指手术仅17天后带伤在这块场地上出战，三次被抄截，他曾说此后每一天都在想那场比赛。
此役过后，俄克拉荷马战绩3胜2负（SEC联盟1胜1负），德州4胜1负（1胜1负）。在最新公布的教练投票排名中，德州跌至第6，佐治亚升至全美第一。（来源：The Oklahoman、Sooners Wire）
Red River Rivalry at Dallas' Cotton Bowl: Oklahoma Stuns No. 1 Texas 27-24 on Walk-Off Field Goal
The 122nd Red River Rivalry was played Saturday, October 10, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas during the State Fair of Texas, where unranked Oklahoma stunned No. 1 Texas 27-24 on a walk-off field goal in one of college football's biggest upsets of the season.
Tate Sandell's 47-yard field goal sailed through the uprights as time expired. Quarterback John Mateer played a turnover-free game and delivered in the biggest moment: with 13 seconds left from the Texas 48, he ripped a pass to Isaiah Sategna III for a first down to set up the winner. After the final whistle, Mateer planted an OU flag in the end zone and rode the Sooner Schooner wearing the Golden Hat.
“I can't believe it,” Mateer said, flipping horns down toward the crowd. Coach Brent Venables praised him: “He did a great job playing quarterback, taking care of the ball... He was fantastic all day.”
Oklahoma's defense picked off Arch Manning twice. The win was personal for Mateer: last October on this same field, 17 days after thumb surgery, he threw three interceptions — a performance he said he thought about every day since.
Oklahoma improved to 3-2 (1-1 SEC); Texas fell to 4-1 (1-1). In the new US LBM Coaches Poll, Texas dropped to No. 6 and Georgia rose to No. 1. (Sources: The Oklahoman, Sooners Wire)
