Here are the top moments!
No. 12 Oklahoma vs. No. 3 Texas
Picked off
Texas QB Quinn Ewers made a critical mistake early and was picked off by Sooners defensive back Gentry Williams, who put Oklahoma in the red zone.
The Sooners quickly capitalized on the turnover and finished the drive with a touchdown to take the lead, 7-0.
Blocked punt
The Longhorns’ special teams unit came to rescue after another costly interception. Defensive back Kitan Crawford blocked a punt on fourth down, and teammate Malik Muhammad recovered the ball for a score to even things up.
The Longhorns bounced back when Ewers found tight end Gunnar Helms for a wide-open 22-yard touchdown in the second quarter that gave Texas its first lead of the day, 14-10.
Two for Tawee
Tawee Walker got his second score of the day with a 1-yard rushing TD in the third quarter to push Oklahoma to a 27-10 lead over Texas.
Stopped short
RB Jonathon Brooks was put to work on the drive and reached a milestone of 1,000 career rushing yards.
Unfortunately, Texas was unable to score on the drive as the Sooners defense came up big with a fourth down stop.
Touchdown and then some
In the battle of the Tigers, Missouri was first to score with an 18-yard touchdown from wideout Theo Wease Jr.
Missouri was successful on a two-point conversion to take an early 8-0 lead.
Ground game strong
LSU running back Logan Diggs gave his team its first score of the day with a 1-yard rushing score.
Then, Mizzou’s Cody Schrader got in on the action. He was unstoppable on his way to the end zone, picking up a 21-yard score to keep the home team ahead, 15-7.
Finding a rhythm
Mizzou tight end Brett Norfleet got his first career touchdown in the second quarter to extend the Tigers’ lead, 22-7.
He’ll take that!
Mizzou QB Brady Cook was picked off by LSU’s Harold Perkins Jr. in the second quarter, and Jayden Daniels was able to take his team down the field and close the gap slightly, 22-17, after a 3-yard touchdown pass to Mason Taylor.
Right on target
A 42-yard connection from Daniels to WR Brian Thomas Jr. gave LSU the lead 27-25 to start the second half the game.
Run Schrader Run
Schrader rushed for 52 yards to set the Tigers up in the red zone. The RB was a go-to throughout the drive finishing it with another TD to put his team up by five late in the third quarter.
Back with a vengeance
Daniels returned to the game after he was shaken up on a rushing TD attempt earlier in the fourth quarter.
The QB willed his way into the end zone, and the Tigers converted on a two-point attempt to jump in the lead 35-32.
