Texas Longhorns Football

It was a one-sided affair for the Texas Longhorns as they blasted the Oklahoma Sooners to end four-game losing streak in the series.

After a first down run by Gray, the Sooners went for it on 4th and 2. Oklahoma had no answer offensively for the aggressive Texas front. It got off to a slow start for both teams as they failed to put any points on the board on their first drive. The first interception came on a pop pass from running back Eric Gray when the Sooners were finding success on the ground. For the first time since 2005, the Burnt Orange absolutely demolished the The Longhorns rolled to the 49-0 victory in front of the sold-out crowd at Cotton Bowl Stadium.

Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said there's "plenty of hate to go around" for the Sooners and Longhorns in this rivalry. The Longhorn Network, oft ...

It’s probably true that Texas gets more of the angst because of the number of schools that got rankled by Texas and ultimately decided to leave the Big 12. It has the receipt of $15 million a year to prove it. My Aggie friends delight in the likely animosity and wrath the Longhorns will feel from Baton Rouge to Athens. Simply put, A&M went to greener pastures, went to escape Texas’ shadow as little brother and correctly set out to blaze its own trial and market itself as the only SEC team in the state of Texas. Sometimes you've got to hate the other one to be supportive of your own team." Besides of those 30 million Texans, I’d guess half or more are Aggies or Red Raiders or Bears and add to the Texas hate. I choose to ask the Big 12 officiating supervisor every July at Big 12 media days to clear up any ambiguity concerning the Horns Down, and he always says it’s a judgment call. Beforehand, he acknowledged it and said his staff and team would “embrace the hate.” As Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said, “We’re the flagship school of the state.” “It’s like the Cowboys and the Dodgers. But no one is more hated than the Longhorns. The brand is one huge reason for the raging dislike.

The Longhorns are on their way to their first win over the Sooners since 2018.

[Kansas](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/team/kansas-jayhawks) next weekend. [Oklahoma](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/team/oklahoma-sooners) had won each of the last four and six of the last seven meetings between the two teams, with the only Longhorns winning a 48–45 shootout in 2017. [Texas](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/team/texas-longhorns) was hoping to finally flip the script in the Red River Showdown.

Brent Venables' Sooners fell to 0-3 in Big 12 play behind OU's biggest loss in the history of the Red River Rivalry.

Oklahoma was able to pick up a handful of first downs in the middle of the field. It proved to be too little too late, as the Longhorn onslaught continued well into the overcast Texas afternoon. Unable to generate any kind of real offense, the Sooners had no hope of keeping up with Texas’ explosive attack. OU’s offense was held scoreless in the Cotton Bowl for the first time since 1965, and will need Gabriel next week to help try and pull the Sooners out of their downward spiral. For the third straight week, Oklahoma’s defensive line failed to play any role in the game. On the first drive of the game Beville struggled to find receiver Drake Stoops in the flat, a sign of things to come.

Oklahoma is down 28-0 at the half to the Texas Longhorns, and Sooner Nation reacted accordingly on Social Media.

Oklahoma fans are going to have to be extremely patient for the first time in a long time. That's the nice way of putting it. To me, at this point it's all about 2023. The gimmicks are utterly pointless when you’re down by three touchdowns. [October 8, 2022] Well that went about as bad as it could have gone for the Oklahoma Sooners.

After the Oklahoma Sooners dropped their first two games of conference play, things weren't looking good, especially when they lost Dillon Gabriel a week ...

Even late in the game, when Texas was simply running the football and killing clock, the Sooners couldn’t stop the Longhorns. Davis Beville was just 6 of 12 for 38 yards and it was evident they didn’t trust him to throw the ball much. For the third straight game, this Oklahoma Sooners’ defense has been bad. They tried some trick plays, which didn’t work at all, and the offense couldn’t really do anything. They tried running the wildcat, and it worked for a while. Their loss to Texas continues a run of play that is absolutely shocking.

This is your spot for live updates. Pre-game. As reported earlier in the week by ESPN and other outlets, redshirt freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers will start on ...

On 3rd and 9, Ewers tried to throw the ball away under pressure, but it was intercepted when he wasn’t able to get it out of bounds. After a timeout by Oklahoma, Ewers was forced to climb the pocket and scrambled for the first down. Three runs by Robinson picked up another first down as the Longhorns offense remained in rhythm and at tempo. Another Wildcat formation used Gray behind center to get into Texas territory before Marcus Majors took over and the Longhorns inflicted a negative play on a push pass. Suddenly back in rhythm, Ewers dropped a beautiful throw to Sanders down the seam for a 24-yard touchdown and a 28-0 lead. Then a misdirection run fake screen to Johnson hit up the right sideline for 38 yards. Coming out of the timeout, Oklahoma called a fake field goal and picked up the first down on a throw from the holder to the kicker that narrowly made the yard to gain. As the Longhorns defense adjusted, the Sooners had to convert a 4th and 2 to pick up the next first down before Beville returned to the game. After a screen pass to Worthy picked up a first down near the goal line, Robinson scored on a two-yard run to cap the 12-play, 90-yard drive. Facing a critical 3rd and 1 to start the second quarter, Johnson turned in another physical run for a seven-yard gain and Ewers hit Whittington for 13 yards. Following a first-down catch by wide receiver Jordan Whittington, Sanders took a short pass down the sideline for the game’s first explosive play. Meanwhile, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is looking for only his second win away from Austin since arriving on the Forty Acres against an Oklahoma team reeling after two straight losses.

The Longhorns jumped out quick in the Red River Showdown and never let up. They put up huge stats on the Sooners.

The Sooners would eventually lose five straight in that season, which was also the last time OU finished under .500. The Sooners produced two Heisman Trophy-winning QBs in the past six years. The Longhorns got three sacks and intercepted two passes Saturday. The Sooners completed just nine passes for 39 yards. That was also the season before Lincoln Riley was hired to run OU's offense. 49: The 49 points are the most the Longhorns have scored in the series. 311: The last time Oklahoma was shut out came Nov. It supplants a 47-0 loss to Oklahoma State in 1945. They were destroyed by the [Texas Longhorns](/college-football/team/_/id/251/texas-longhorns) in the 2022 edition of the Red River Showdown. That was the longest active streak in FBS. The previous high was 33 points done in 1941 and 2005. Texas last shut out Oklahoma in 1965.

It was not a good day to be an Oklahoma Sooners fan. The Sooners were dominated in the Cotton Bowl by the Texas Longhorns 49-0 marking their third straight ...

His stock trend has to be going up Despite the outcome, his future looks bright. I want and believe it can work out. Brayden Willis showed heart, pride, and dirty hard work in the dark today. Oklahoma had allowed 49 points only 14 times in its 114-year history coming into this season. Oklahoma just has to go through some growing pains before they become THE MAN Still believe BV will get some Why don’t you try another quarterback and actually try to win the game somehow like last year. That game literally felt like me and the golf guys going up against a real college football team. [October 8, 2022] Texas’ offensive line dominated in the running game and made life incredibly easy for Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers. They allowed 585 total yards of offense and nearly 300 yards rushing on the day. Ultimately, the lack of an adequate passing attack combined with an untimely move away from the running game marked disaster for an offense that only generated 195 total yards and 11 first downs. The first time since 1998.
