Red River Blowout: Twitter erupts like the Texas offense following the Red River Rivalry
If you were wearing Burnt Orange on Saturday, it was a glorious day in Dallas, Texas. After four consecutive losses in the Red River Rivalry, the Texas Longhorns took four years of frustration out on Brent Venables and the Oklahoma Sooners.
The return of Quinn Ewers helped spark an offense that tallied 585 yards of offense and converted 10 of their 15 third downs. The passing game averaged 9.3 yards per attempt while they countered with 5.9 yards per rush. The team demolished Oklahoma in every statistic including on the scoreboard. They limited the Sooners to just 39 yards passing on 17 attempts.

So Texas is probably #4 in the country if Ewers doesn't get hurt vs Bama right? Maybe ranked higher?
