Venables thought it was great.
On the first possession of overtime, OU attempted a field goal. The crowd at Jones AT&T Stadium yelled as Schmit sent the ball towards the right upright.
The ball hit the post. The officials stopped and signaled that the kick was not good. Schmit wasn't the only one who was shocked by the call.
Venables was asked about Schmit's missed attempt after the game, as Texas Tech went on to earn a 51-48 win.
Venables said that the official told him it was not reviewable. It's difficult. I'm not in a good position. I thought it looked good to me.
The OU football team has the largest lead since 2020.
The same thing happened to Eric Gray.
The senior running was waiting in the back of the bench to see the kick. He came to the same conclusion after viewing the replay.
Gray thought it went through. It was a weird feeling when the replay showed it went over the upright.
It's not easy to tell if a field goal is good or not. It's difficult to tell when a replay is showing at an angle.
There were multiple chances for OU to avoid overtime, including a 29-yard attempt by Schmit in the first quarter. The Sooners faked the kick, and Michael Turk couldn't complete a pass to a receiver for the first down.
"As our guys go forward, it's just understanding you are one or two plays from something completely different," Lebby said. This is the reality of the game. We need to close the door, shut the door, put the nail in the coffin, and win the football game. It's the deal.
The Sooners lost in overtime to the Red Raiders.
He was lying on the floor and couldn't breathe.
On its first overtime drive, OU did a trick play. Gabriel was lit up by Texas Tech's Reggie Pearson after Drake Stoops threw a pass to him.
Gabriel walked over to the sideline after the hit knocked the wind out of his head. The quarterback was required to sit out a play, but he was willing to miss any chance he got.
Venables said that Gabriel agreed to go.
Gabriel came back to the game after one play. Gabriel did everything he could to give his team a chance to win the game.
Gabriel tied the second-most passing touchdown by an OU quarterback in program history with six. He had a season high in passing yards. The quarterback rating was 208.6.
Gabriel had a great game. He didn't care that much as he made his way through a sea of Texas Tech fans who had just celebrated their team's victory.
Gabriel said he's not individual driven. I enjoy playing a team game with my teammates. When you don't come out on the right side, it's not the best feeling.
Gabriel doesn't like to pat himself on the back in a losing effort, but his teammates didn't mind.
He did a good job tonight. They couldn't stack the box because we were going to pass a lot this week. I think he did a great job, even though he got hit like that, and coming in the next play is a testament to his resilience.
Another game of coulda, woulda, shoulda for OU and another game of coulda, woulda, shoulda for Tech.
Marvin Mims was in the middle of the play.
Gabriel threw a downfield pass to the junior wide receiver in the second quarter as OU held a 14-7 lead. Mims was being defended by Texas Tech's Dunlap, who was called for pass interference as he bumped Mims, keeping him out of reach from making a play on the ball.
It seemed like it.
Mims got his hand on the ball after jumping up. After pinning it on Dunlap's back, he fell to the ground.
Mims said that they talk a lot about jumping through the defenders if the ball is short or underthrown. I made a play on the ball after jumping through him and getting the call from the PI. I grabbed it with one hand and tucked it in.
Mims had a great performance on Saturday. He had two touchdown catches.
Mims said it felt good. When the opportunity presented itself, I just played the game play by play.
The grades in the OT loss to Texas Tech fit a.500 team.
The full schedule will be announced at 11 a.m. on December 4th.
Between now and then, it's important to watch which players opt out of the playoffs. In the past few seasons, it has become fairly common.
After Saturday's loss, Mims said he would play in the bowl game. He didn't say what he's going to do next season.
Mims doesn't know what he's going to do. I haven't begun the conversations with family and coaches yet. I have not made a decision.
Coldon said that he will play in the bowl game. In the fourth quarter of the Texas Tech game, the Wyoming transfer picked off a ball.
He didn't give any definitive answers when asked about his plans. The Sooners' star back is taking a break after running for a career-high 1,203 yards and 11 touchdown in the regular season.
Gray didn't say if he would play in the bowl game. It's time to get away because we've been going to football for 12 weeks. Take your mind off something. It's a good idea to lay around the house for a few days.
Oklahoma is home to the greatest brother act in sports. Was it the Selmons or Smith's?
The fifth-year tight end wore a boot after the game. He said the injury didn't stop him from playing.
Two of OU's starters on the offensive line were absent. Junior center Andrew Raym didn't suit up due to a recent surgery, while senior right tackle Wanya Morris didn't play due to an injury.
Major and Coe were not available.
