Fourth Quarter
UT did score a touchdown on that drive to go ahead 38–6. The kickoff by UT's Greg Johnson went 54 yards to the OU 11 where Lendy Holmes caught the ball and made a 21-yard return to the OU 32. UT committed two penalties on the play: a face mask penalty for 15 yards and a personal foul, also for 15 yards. This gave the Sooners their best starting field position of the day: 1st and 10, OU ball on the UT 38. From there, OU punched in the touchdown with a five-play series culminating in a 15-yard pass to Joe Jon Finley. Texas ended their next series by punting. OU drove to the Texas 23 when Brian Robison sacked Bomar and forced a fumble. The ball was picked up by UT's Rodrique Wright, who ran 67 yards for a touchdown with 7:41 left in the game. For the second time in a row, the Sooners combined a kick-off return with a penalty against Texas. This time, Lendy Holmes fielded the ball at the OU 17 and returned it 29 yards to the OU 46. The penalty was another personal foul against Texas, which move the ball to the UT 39. The Texas defense stopped Oklahoma and Garrett Hartley came in to attempt a 41-yard field goal but it went wide right and UT took over at its own 24 with 2:21 remaining and a 45–12 lead. Texas ran three running plays and then took a knee to run out the clock.

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or quarter:
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
