9-Year-Old Collin County Boy Credited with Saving Mom's Life
On Friday, we told the story of a Sachse boy who's being credited with saving his mother's life on Aug. 29. The whole episode was caught on a Ring doorbell video. Ingrid Fleury, the boy's mother, collapsed and nine-year-old Santiago Coll sprang into action. The family would later learn that the 35-year-old Fleury suffered a stroke and a seizure -- she's now undergoing treatment for blood clots after she spent six days in the hospital.

Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger threw for 314 yards and accounted for five total touchdowns, while the Sooners' Kyler Murray threw four touchdown passes and ran for 92 yards. Oklahoma is the three-time defending Big 12 champion.
