The tie severely damaged the third-ranked chances for an unprecedented third con secutive national title. Oklahoma appeared to have climbed out of the grave for a fourth quarter winning touchdown when Horacy Ivory skirted left end from one yard out with 1:38 left to play. Craig's snap sailed over holder Bud Hebert's hands and in desperation, kicking specialist Uwe von Schamann lobbed a pass which was intercepted by Longhorn defensive back Steve Collier. The bizarre end to the game was set up when Ivey Suber fumbled to Zac Henderson with 5:25 to play. Texas led at that point 6-0 on the strength of Russell field goals of 37 and 41 yards.

President Ford, a national television audience and a sell out crowd of 72.000 in the Cot ton Bowl witnessed the fumble filled contest as Texas Coach Darrell Royal tried to defeat his rival counterpart Barry Switzer for the first time. Royal had charged before the game that Oklahoma had spied on Texas secret practices prompting a bitter retort from Switzer.
