The Sooners and Longhorns each won, but it was closer than it should have been.
The weekend began with a scare in Norman. The No. 6 Sooners hosted UCF as the Knights were still searching for their first-ever Big 12 win. It was the Dillon Gabriel Bowl, as the Oklahoma quarterback faced off against his former team. The two teams were tied 17-17 at the half, and the teams went back and forth in the second half. OU went ahead 31-23 with 3:20 remaining, but UCF came back and scored with 1:24 left. They needed the 2-point conversion to tie the game.
