About this book

THE CLOCK IS TICKING at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, and the Sooners are clinging to a one-point lead. Ohio State drives hard, the Buckeyes refusing to yield, but Oklahoma’s defense holds firm. Higgins throws … intercepted! The offense takes the field, the crowd rising with every snap. The seconds crawl by, every yard fought for, every tackle crucial. Then … the final whistle blows. Oklahoma 29, Ohio State 28. The Sooners have done it — a victory that shocks the nation and cements their place among college football’s elite.
