In one line

Why searches rose
The facts: "texas football" was on the Google Trends U.K. list at 200+ when we collected it (Oct. 11, 10:14 a.m. Korea time), attached to The Guardian's and NBC Sports' reports on the game. The timing matches the final whistle, so the result appears to be the driver. That link is our inference.
Score by quarter
| Team | Final | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma | 27 | 0 | 7 | 3 | 17 |
| Texas | 24 | 7 | 10 | 0 | 7 |
Quarter scores are from ESPN's game data. NBC Sports also reported the 17-7 Texas lead at halftime.
How Oklahoma won
- Special teams and defense: Dakoda Fields recovered a blocked punt in the end zone in the second quarter, and Peyton Bowen returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown with 10:07 left, giving Oklahoma a 24-17 lead.
- Texas ties it: Manning threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Bishop Jr. with 6:32 left to make it 24-24.
- The final play: Manning's second interception of the fourth quarter set up the last drive, and Sandell made the 47-yard kick as time expired. He had also made a 53-yarder in the third quarter.
Key numbers
- Arch Manning (Texas): 19 of 31 passing for 260 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.
- John Mateer (Oklahoma): 18 of 26 passing for 155 yards.
- Total yards: Oklahoma finished with 238. ESPN lists Texas at 382.
- Turnovers: Texas two, Oklahoma none, according to ESPN's box score.
- Records: Oklahoma is 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the SEC. Texas is 4-1 and 1-1.
What we could not confirm
- The final two minutes: The Guardian's report says Texas missed a 53-yard field goal with 1:55 left and that Courtland Guillory made the last interception with 19 seconds remaining. ESPN's play-by-play puts the miss at 1:54, and the two differ on how the replay reviews on the final drive were ruled, so we left those details out of the main text.
- Historic note: The same report says this was Oklahoma's first win over a No. 1 team since 2007. We could not check that against a second source.
- Attendance: ESPN lists 92,100. No second source.
- New rankings: The next poll had not been published when we collected this, so where Texas lands is not known.
