LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Trey Wolff made a 35-yard field goal in overtime after a tying kick in the final seconds of regulation, and Texas Tech erased an 18-point deficit in a 51-48 win over Oklahoma on Saturday night.
Dillon Gabriel threw for 449 yards and six touchdowns, but the OU quarterback was sidelined briefly in OT after a hard hit from safety Reggie Pearson Jr. on a catch on a throwback play.
The Sooners appeared out of sync on offense and had to settle for a 34-yard field goal try from Zach Schmit after Gabriel was sacked. The kick was wide right.
After Wolff's winner, Texas Tech fans stormed the field just as they did after an OT victory over Texas in September.
The Red Raiders ended a 10-game losing streak against OU and beat the Sooners and Longhorns in the same season for the first time in coach Joey McGuire's first season.
Texas Tech (7-5, 5-4 Big 12) secured a winning conference record for the first time since 2009.
The Sooners (6-6, 3-6) couldn't hold a 24-6 second-quarter lead, giving up 24 consecutive points from late in the second quarter to early in the third on the way to six lead changes in the second half and overtime.
Oklahoma finished the regular season without a winning record for the first time since 1998 in a disappointing debut for coach Brent Venables.
“I thought they did a great job of executing, finding the plays within a couple of those drives where they executed at the most critical moments,” Venables said. “And we didn't.”
Texas Tech’s Tyler Shough threw for a career-high 436 yards with two scores, but he was intercepted by C.J. Coldon to set up Schmit’s tiebreaking 43-yard field goal with four minutes remaining.
Shough put the Red Raiders in position for the tie in the final seconds. Wolff’s first kick was blocked by Josh Ellison, but Venables had called a timeout. Wolff made the 43-yarder on the second try.
“One day, people might not need to ice him, because when you ice him, he's perfect,” McGuire said. “What a huge kick. He's done it all year for us.”
Oklahoma's Marvin Mims Jr. had a career-high 162 yards receiving and two touchdowns, and Brayden Willis also had two TD grabs. Eric Gray rushed for 161 yards.
Jerand Bradley also finished with a career best in receiving yards with 173 for Texas Tech, and he had a 44-yard tiebreaking TD catch in the fourth quarter.
Texas Tech's SaRodorick Thompson had two rushing TDs.
