Texas 28, #15 Oklahoma 24
Saturday, October 14, 1989
Cotton Bowl (Dallas, Texas)
Texas hadn’t beaten Oklahoma since 1983, and it looked as though that streak would stay intact when
freshman QB Peter Gardere broke the UT huddle at the Longhorns 34-yard-line with 3:42 left. Having
seen its 21-7 halftime lead turn into a 24-21 Sooners advantage, the UT half of the Cotton Bowl rallied
behind the Longhorns for one last drive. Four Gardere completions later, the Horns were at the
Oklahoma 25-yard-line with a little more than two minutes left in the game. Then, on second-and-10,
Gardere rifled a strike to an outstretched Johnny Walker at the goal line for the winning score.
