Caleb Kelly forced the game-changing fumble by Texas freshman Xavier Worthy to cement himself in Red River Showdown history on Saturday. The fumble helped to lift the Sooners to an epic 55-48 heart-stopping victory. This weekend, Kelly and the rest of the Oklahoma Sooners are soaking up the big win with some images on Twitter.

Check out the images below.

Kelly posted the images of him with the coveted “Golden Hat”, awarded to the winner of the rivalry game. He’s been at Oklahoma since 2016, so the montage is full of images of him wearing the hat after the win over the years.

The Sooners have won six of the last seven games in the heated rivalry. Simply put, it’s going to be incredibly tough to top the 2021 version of the matchup.

It’s easy to see why the Oklahoma program and their fans could be so excited, after all, the Sooners did complete the largest comeback in Red River Showdown history to win 55-48.

Red River Showdown: Instant Classic

The 2021 version of the Red River Showdown will undoubtedly go down as one of the best games in series history and college football history as well. There were breathtaking plays made by both Oklahoma and Texas in the game.

One of the most important plays was made by Oklahoma linebacker Caleb Kelly, when he stripped Texas freshman receiver Xavier Worthy on a kick return in the 4th quarter.

Kelly stripped the ball from Worthy and rolled to the ground with the football in his hands. The fumble happened with 7:17 remaining in the game and there’s no question it played a massive role in the outcome of the game.

Check it out below.

After the fumble, Oklahoma would go on to score on a Kennedy Brooks 18-yard touchdown run to go up 48-41 with 7:10 remaining in the game. Texas countered and tied the game up at 48-48 after Xavier Worthy hauled in a 31-yard touchdown catch from Casey Thompson. There was only 1:32 remaining in the game. The Sooners would go on to score in the final seconds of the game after Kennedy Brooks ripped off a 33-yard touchdown run to make it 55-48.

This one will be extra sweet for Oklahoma Sooner fans and it will surely sting for a long, long time for Texas fans. The Longhorns were up 28-7 in the game, but the Sooners made an incredible comeback behind the stellar play of true freshman signal-caller Caleb Williams.

Caleb Williams story begins for Oklahoma

Caleb Williams announced himself to the college football world and in a big way on Saturday. Earlier in the season, Oklahoma Sooner fans had been chanting for him after Spencer Rattler threw an interception and it turns out they were 100 percent right.

As soon as he entered the game, Williams began making homerun hitting plays for the Sooners, including this 66-yard touchdown run.

After replacing Spencer Rattler, the true freshman completed 16 of his 25 pass attempts for 212 passing yards, while tossing in two touchdowns and no interceptions. As a runner, he gashed the ‘Horns for 88 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground on just four carries.

Williams has been highly thought of by the experts at On3 for quite some time now. On3 had him rated as the No.1 overall prospect in America in the 2021 recruiting class.

The Oklahoma Sooners will face the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. EST in Norman, Oklahoma.
