The OT

Dallas, October 12, 1996 - With talk of a winless season growing louder, Oklahoma's first win in 1996 could not have been any sweeter. Sparked by a rejuvinated James Allen and an inspired Sooner defense, OU shocked the heavily favored Texas Longhorns, 30-27. Stopped short of the goal line for what could have been the game winner in 1994, Allen returned to the Cotton Bowl possessed. He accounted for 210 yards of total offense, including 159 yards on the ground. His two-yard scamper in overtime gave OU the win. Texas jumped to an early 10-0 lead, but OU responded with a 13-point second quarter to take a 13-10 lead. Niether team scored in the 3rd, setting up a dramatic fourth quarter and overtime. Trailing 24-13 midway through the fourth, freshman Jarrail Jackson took a Longhorn punt 51 yards for a Sooner touchdown. After a two-point conversion pass cut the deficit to 24-21, ou's defense was able to hold the high-powered Texas offense. Jeremy Alexander then booted a 44-yard field goal to tie the game setting the stage for Allen's game-winner in the extra period.
