The 15th ranked Oklahoma Sooners coached by Gary Gibbs made the long trip to Syracuse, New York to play the Orangemen. This, like the 1997 game, would be an instant classic. Oklahoma, led by several offensive playmakers including Quarterback Garrick mcgee, Running Backs Jerald Moore & James Allen, and Wide Receivers PJ Mills & Albert Hall would jump out to a 24-0 at halftime. The Orangemen would come storming back in the second half to take a 29-27 lead with less than a minute to go. mcgee would then lead the Sooners on a last minute drive down the field to set up a game winning field goal by kicker/punter Scott Blanton. The 1994 season would be a disappointing one for the program. So much talent gone to waste. Although, Gary Gibbs underperformed that season, some Oklahoma fans treatment of him was classless.
