The Sooners (5-3-2, 3-1-2) moved downfield without any timeouts to set up Blanton’s kick. Oklahoma got a break when the kickoff after Vaughn’s field goal went out of bounds, the Sooners getting the ball at their 35-yard line.

Cale Gundy, showing no signs of rust after missing the past two games with a shoulder injury, had consecutive completions of 10, 20 and 19 yards to move Oklahoma to the Cowboys’ 16 with a minute left.

Gundy threw an incomplete pass into the end zone, scrambled for a five-yard gain and handed off to Dewell Brewer for a one-yard gain before Blanton made his kick.
