Oklahoma defensive back Billy Bowman Jr. completed a 100-yard pick six to give the Sooners a lead over Brigham Young on Saturday.

The teams were tied at 17 about halfway through the third quarter when BYU was less than ten yards away from their end zone. Bowman Jr's timing could not have been more impeccable in intercepting BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff's pass to wide receiver Kody Epps.

The coast was clear for Bowman Jr. to complete the 100-yard sprint. Despite a last-ditch effort from Retzlaff to stop the run, Bowman Jr. front flipped away from him and into the end zone. 

The crowd at BYU's LaVell Edwards Stadium was stunned into silence. Meanwhile, the Sooners celebrated the incredible touchdown. 

It was only uphill from there as Oklahoma went on to win the game 31-24.
