On Saturday afternoon, the Texas Longhorns returned from their bye week with an impressive win over Oklahoma. In their toughest matchup of the season, Texas was firing on all cylinders offensively and dominating on defense. The Longhorns did not disappoint in the latest installment of the Red River Rivalry.
After missing two and a half games, Quinn Ewers was back under center and picked up where he had left off. The Longhorns quarterback completed 68 percent of his passes and found the end zone once. He got some help on the ground as the Longhorns finished with 177 rushing yards on 30 attempts.
Although Oklahoma took an early 3-0 lead, their momentum evaporated in the second quarter when the Longhorns scored 21 points. The Sooners could not get back into the game, as the offense struggled, and they were shut out in the final three quarters.
