Texas' Jordan Shipley scores a touchdown after returning a kickoff 96 yards Saturday.

The Sooners led 28-20 when McCoy marched the Longhorns for a TD that got them within a point. When Oklahoma’s next drive stalled just shy of midfield, coach Bob Stoops called for a fake punt, only to see his punter get caught from behind, inches shy of a first down.

Texas got a field goal and was lucky to get that, as a third-down pass into the end zone was caught by Oklahoma’s Lamont Robinson but popped out when he hit the ground.

The Sooners went ahead 35-30 with a touchdown on their next drive, benefiting from a running-into-the-punter penalty and converting a third-and-14. But Bradford was out of comebacks, and McCoy was just getting started.

He took Texas 74 yards on the next drive, overcoming a third-and-9 by finding Jordan Shipley free across the middle. The defense closed in at the 5 and he dove for the end zone but his knees landed inside the 1. Cody Johnson rumbled in from there for the lead. Texas went for 2 and Quan Cosby caught it after batting the ball over his head.

After the UT defense forced a three-and-out, the Longhorns went 80 yards for a lead-stretching touchdown, set up by Ogbonnaya’s long run.

“We started getting off the field when we needed to and that’s when the big plays started happening,” said Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo, who had two sacks.

Ogbonnaya, a senior making his second career start, ran 15 times for 127 yards.

Shipley caught 11 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown, and had a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first half. Cosby caught nine passes for 122 yards.

Bradford threw two interceptions, a meaningless one on the final play and another late in the second quarter that led to a Texas field goal. He also broke the major-college record for touchdowns as a freshman and sophomore. He’s up to 59, breaking Rex Grossman’s mark of 55, and has at least six games left.

Oklahoma middle linebacker Ryan Reynolds tore a ligament in his right knee early in the third quarter and is out for the season.
