The SuperRoy

Dallas, October 6, 2001 -
Clinging to a 7-3 lead over Texas with 2:06 remaining in the 4th quarter, OU found itself needing to pooch-punt the ball on 4th and 16 from the Texas 28 yard line. Kicker Tim Duncan put the ball inside Texas' 5 yard line thanks to Safety Nathan Vasher, who fielded the punt instead of letting it go into the endzone for a touchback. Chris Simms and Texas found themselves 97 yards away from taking the lead from OU. On the next play, Teddy Lehman faked the blitz and Superman Roy Williams flew in from the left and caused Simms to toss the ball directly into the waiting arms of Lehman, who walked into the endzone and sealed the victory for the Sooners.

Dumb play by Vashar and the blocked FG early in the game cost the Longhorns in this one.

This and Crabtrees last second touchdown are two of the most heartbreaking plays ever against Texas...... my opinion of course : /

P.S. I would also like to give it up to the OU fan at :35-:38 with her hands waiving,surrounded by texas fans in thier endzone and cheering. A Superfan!

I like what Teddy Lehman said about the play "Williams made a great play but if it wasn't for me it would be just 2nd down'
