WATCH: Texas Longhorns RB Jonathon Brooks Ties Game vs. Oklahoma with TD

Texas Longhorns running back Jonathon Brooks had a much-needed touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Oklahoma Sooners.

DALLAS, Texas -- Texas Longhorns running back Jonathon Brooks surpassed 1,000 career rushing yards in the second half of Saturday's Red River Rivalry battle against the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners, but it was the 29-yard touchdown run he had in the fourth quarter that was his most important play of the day up to that point.

With Texas trailing 27-20 in a key spot of the fourth quarter, Brooks came up big after avoiding the defense down the left sideline for the game-tying score.

Brooks said after the win over Kansas that a career day like that was special.

"It means a lot," he said. "I trust in my o-line, I trusted the calling, and we went to work this week in practice. So we really honed in on finishing blocks and finishing runs and just making that impact."

Headed into Saturday's meeting with Oklahoma, Brooks had the third-most rushing yards in the country with 597 yards on 86 carries and five touchdowns. He's also added five catches for 87 yards and one score.
