Javonnie Gibson made his Oklahoma debut last week, six months after breaking his leg.

His path was the road less traveled, from D2 scout team to FCS All-American. His determination led him to OU, the SEC and Saturday’s Red River Rivalry.

“The path he took — a lot of kids don't make it out of that”
'Hell or high water': The uncommon determination that guided OU's Javonnie Gibson down road less traveled
Javonnie Gibson overcame more than just a broken leg in April to get on the field for Saturday's Red River Rivalry. The Oklahoma receiver took the road less traveled, from Division-II scout teamer to ...

Isaiah Sategna got tackled while trying to come back for a pass on third-and-long. No pass interference called, somehow.

And then Texas houses the ensuing punt.

Absolute disaster for the Sooners in Dallas.

Texas misses another field goal after an Oklahoma turnover, and the Sooners have some renewed life.

Throw was behind Sategna.

And then on the next snap, John Mateer is picked off a third time.

Ball caroms off Isaiah Sategna and right into the hands of a Texas defender.

Big run by John Mateer wiped out by a holding penalty against tight end Carson Kent. Brutal for Oklahoma after what would've been its biggest play of the game.

Oklahoma trails Texas, 13-6, through three quarters. Longhorns score 13 unanswered since the Sooners' two early field goals.

Oklahoma ran just four plays in the third quarter.

Couple of very poor throws by John Mateer to open the second half, as Oklahoma goes three-and-out after Texas takes the lead.

Texas comes out of halftime and marches right downfield for a touchdown against Oklahoma. Longhorns just took up about half of the third quarter with a 14-play, 75-yard drive.

John Mateer picked off a second time, this time with 2 seconds left in the first half.

Oklahoma just absolutely squandered a scoring opportunity to end the half.

Sooners take a 6-3 lead into the break.

John Mateer remains in the game for OU on its next drive.

Per TV broadcast, John Mateer is bleeding on his right hand where his thumb was wrapped. Seems he got hit by a helmet on OU's last drive.

Tate Sandell hits a 41-yard FG to put Oklahoma up 6-0 on Texas with 9:09 left in the first half.

Oklahoma had third-and-10, but John Mateer bobbled the snap. He managed to corral it and pick up a couple yards to avoid disaster. Wonder if the thumb was an issue there.

Derek Simmons gets rolled up at the end of the first quarter. With Logan Howland already ruled out for today (and not traveling with the team), Stanford transfer Luke Baklenko comes in to take over at right tackle for Oklahoma.

End of the first quarter, it's No. 6 Oklahoma 3, Texas 0.

Texas' distance to go on three 3rd downs so far: 23, 12, 30

Texas misses a 55-yard FG after John Mateer was picked off.

Great job by OU's defense to hold after the change of possession, again.

Oklahoma's defense came to play today.

Texas went backward on its first drive, going four-and-out. It went three-and-out on its second drive.

Oklahoma had a false start, and Texas' defensive lineman just took a low shot on John Mateer after the whistle -- but no glad on the Longhorns for a late hit.

Three consecutive flags here in Dallas. False start. Offsides. Holding on Texas.

John Mateer made a couple nice throws on Oklahoma's first drive, but he can't convert a third-and-5 under pressure, so the Sooners settle for a 42-yard field goal from Tate Sandell to get on the board.

Oklahoma 3, Texas 0 with 11:49 to go in the first quarter.

Keontez Lewis took a shot to the head against Temple and missed the second half of that game.

Last week, he was carted off the field after crashing into the brick wall at Owen Field.

Today, he’s starting at wide receiver against Texas

Texas wins the toss. Oklahoma will get the ball first to open the game.

Let's do that football.
