Dillon Gabriel shines in the 'Red River' rivalry

Dillon Gabriel was supported by the dynamic Nic Anderson and the strategic maneuvers of coach Jeff Lebby. Lebby had a tempo-focused strategy as the Sooners were very efficiently navigating the field.

The defensive front for the Sooners was vulnerable, but Gabriel exhibited composure. On the crucial second-and-goal from the three-yard line, he threaded an amazing pass to Nic Anderson at the end zone. That sealed the win with a mere 15 seconds left.
