The Pick

College Station, November 11, 2000 -
With less than 14 minutes to play against Texas A&M, OU trailed the Aggies 31-21. The Sooners responded with a 15-play, 77-yard drive, ending with a 2-yard TD run by Quentin Griffin. On the first play of the Aggies' next possession, QB Mark Farris dropped back and attempted to hit receiver Greg Porter, who was running a crossing route over the middle. OU linebacker Torrance Marshall read Farris' eyes, stepped in front of Porter and picked off the pass and sprinted 41yards into the end zone. OU had gone from trailing by 10 to leading by 4 in a matter of 25 seconds and were on the way to their 7th National Championship.

I remember being in my truck and listening to Bob Barry on this play...I screamed to the top of my lungs so much so that I got light headed and had to pull over! I rem my dad telling me later that night that he was at home and was yelling too on this play...great memories of a great year that lifted a beaten Sooner Nation.
