In a surprising turn of events, the Texas Longhorns defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 34-3 in the annual Red River Rivalry game. Despite an early interception by quarterback Quinn Ewers, the Longhorns bounced back and dominated the game, forcing turnovers and capitalizing on offensive opportunities. Ewers, returning from injury, performed well with 199 passing yards and two touchdowns. Running back Quintrevion Wisner also played a key role with 118 rushing yards, including a 43-yard touchdown run. The win highlighted the struggles of Oklahoma’s offense under coach Brent Venables, with a lackluster passing game and ineffective rushing attack. Texas’ strong performance this season, with an average winning margin of 36.8 points, is impressive but the quality of their opponents remains uncertain. As they transition to the SEC, upcoming games against teams like Georgia will provide a better gauge of their championship potential. Despite the historic significance of beating Oklahoma, the Longhorns face tougher challenges ahead as they aim to establish themselves as serious contenders in the national title race.
