Highlights from Texas’ 49-0 rout over Oklahoma
Texas left absolutely zero doubt in the Red River Showdown on Saturday.
The Longhorns outclassed the Sooners on both sides of the ball from start to finish. Steve Sarkisian and his squad celebrated with the golden hat after the 49-0 victory.
Texas’ offense moved the ball with ease against the Sooners’ defense. Quarterback Quinn Ewers dazzled in his return, throwing for 289 yards and four touchdowns. Ja’Tavion Sanders continues to impress. The redshirt freshman hauled in five passes for 71 yards and two scores.
The Longhorns’ rushing attack was just as effective. Texas ran for 296 total yards and three touchdowns on a 5.9 yards per carry clip. Bijan Robinson paced the effort with 130 yards and two touchdowns of his own.
Two turnovers and a lack of passing game doomed Oklahoma vs. the Texas defense. Pete Kwiatkowski’s unit quickly shut down any spark the Sooners could find offensively.
Here are the best highlights from Texas’ historic win over the rival Sooners.

T’Vondre Sweat and the interior of the Texas defensive line win their matchups and force a turnover on downs! #HookEm | @Horns247

Keilan Robinson motion sends the play flow to the field side, Ewers spins and Roschon Johnson is perfectly set up on a screen. Elite play design #HookEm | @Horns247 pic.twitter.com/GAtI3DTYyr

Amazing blocking by #Texas Xavier Worthy and Jordan Whittington on the Quinn Ewers to Keilan Robinson touchdown pass. No holding. Oklahoma Sooners don’t know what hit them. Exactly how it’s done. #hookem #TEXvsOU #RedRiverShowdown pic.twitter.com/e78aqAlhJU
