Oklahoma St. 17 - 17 Oklahoma (2:35 left in the 3d Quarter)

Wow, this has suddenly become an amazing game.

Oklahoma, playing without its starting quarterback, is now going for broke on every play.  The Sooners used a double reverse to spring Jalen Saunders loose for a 35-yard game deep into OSU territory.  Then, on third and goal from the 8, OU's third-string quarterback -- Blake Bell of Bishop Carroll H.S. in Wichita, Kan. -- was chased all the way back to his own 30 before heaving the ball to the back of the end zone.  It was briefly in the hands of an OU receiver, but he was crushed by an OSU back and could not hang on to the ball.

So this set up fourth and goal from the 8.  With everyone expecting OU to kick a field goal, OU Coach Bob Stoops CALLED A FAKE -- and not just any fake, but a fake where the holder (Grant Bothun, a RECEIVER from Rowlett H.S. in Rowlett, Tex.) is supposed to throw a roll-out pass to THE KICKER.  The kicker, Mike Hunnicutt, made a nice catch and was HAMMERED in the end zone.  But he held on to the ball, and then made the extra point.  So we are all tied once again.

Here are the OU passing statistics so far:

Trevor Knight:  3-7, 28 yards, 0 TD's, 0 INT's
Kendal Thompson:  2-9, 17 yards, 0 TD's, 1 INT
Blake Bell:  1-2, 6 yards, 0 TD's, 0 INT's
Grant Bothun:  1-1, 8 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT's
TOTAL:  7-19, 59 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

But the game is tied.
