Guys, how do we get Georgia to play like this against us? We play them and everything seems to go there way lol.

After first quarter, offensive line looked pretty decent (Hutson is still really bad). Sark’s play calling is still infuriating. Defense was unreal. Love to win Red River.

What was the O line lineup in the second half? Seems like they got in a groove and the run game was able to feast.

Look how right you were. Amazing job!

I caught bits and pieces, but hopefully get a chance to watch the whole game

The stats on this game do the offense justice. They fought their butts off. It always feels amazing to send the trailer park back to oklahoma crying. I cant imagi e losing a game like this and then realizing i still have to go live in oklahoma.

Feels so good to be wrong haha

I'm all for criticism when and where it's warranted but we just beat OU. Let's enjoy that for a while first. Especially after last weeks game.

Might be time for a new hobby if you’re this miserable

Are you going to be ok?

10-0 now and Georgia offensively looks inept. South Carolina up 7-3 on LSU after a long TD run by SC.

You’re the man Jeff

Fried Vegetables ™️

Well it's fun either way, it's just better when we win.

So good!! Great write up Jeff!! It’s great to see the potential of this team when they play complimentary football. The punt return was so fun and it was even sweeter watching us get AFTER Mateer!! Hook’em baby!!

Required sports actually only impact larger programs. You have to have a lot of sports score points for the required sports to come into play. I broke this down a few posts above, very few schools have their scores impacted by required sports.

There was more I wanted to write, but I'll save it for later. This one felt good.

Can we enjoy a win over a top-five OU team for five minutes?

Congrats!!

Man watching college football is so much more fun after a Texas win

With their season on the line, the Texas Longhorns stood tall and delivered in Dallas. Behind an efficient, methodical offense and a defense that made No. 5 Oklahoma’s offense a one-dimensional attack, Texas claimed the Golden Hat for the third time in four years by winning a slugfest with the Sooners, 23-6. The conditions weren’t ripe for an aesthetically pleasing performance. Nevertheless, the Longhorns won the Red River Shootout by winning the battles they needed to win. Quintrevion Wisner churned out a game-high 94 yards on 22 carries, helping Texas (4-2, 1-1 SEC) finish with 136 yards (3.9 yards per carry) on the ground. Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense held Oklahoma (5-1, 1-1) to 48 net yards (1.6 yards per attempt); in the last 29 series meetings, the team that wins the rushing yardage battle is 26-2 (the 2006 game ended with both teams rushing for 124 yards). The Longhorns intercepted three John Mateer passes, contributing to a rock return from thumb surgery in his first Red River Shootout, with Mateer going 20-for-38 through the air for 202 yards. After completing seven of his first 11 attempts, only 13 of Mateer’s last 28 passes found the hands of one of his teammates. While the Longhorns failed to score on their three takeaways (although Michael Taaffe came painfully close to a scoop-and-score touchdown on a botched lateral in the fourth quarter), Ryan Niblett’s 75-yard punt return is the kind of non-offensive score a team needs when it’s looking for a spark. Saturday’s win wasn’t a fluke. With its back against the wall, Texas played with a necessary sense of urgency and dominated the Sooners in every phase of the game. *** Brent Venables has nobody to blame but himself for Oklahoma leaving points on the field at the end of the first half. There were 32 seconds on the clock when Jelani McDonald and Zina Umeozulu tackled Isaiah Sategna at the end of a catch-and-run completion for eight yards. The Sooners let 12 seconds tick off the clock before calling a timeout while facing third-and-2 at the Texas 38. Coming out of the timeout, instead of kicking the field goal, Mateer rolled to his right before throwing against the grain. Malik Muhammad’s second interception of the half ensured Mason Shipley’s 22-yard field goal at the end of a 12-play, 75-yard drive would be the last score before halftime. For the first time all season, the Longhorns executed better than their opponent at the end of the half. *** Capitalizing on the momentum, Arch Manning (21-for-27, 166 yards and one touchdown; 34 yards on four attempts) and the offense opened the third quarter with the drive of the season. The 14-play, 75-yard march took 7:11 off the clock and ended when Manning converted on third down for the fourth time on the scoring march, finding DeAndre Moore Jr. (50 yards on three receptions) in the back of the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown. How clutch was Manning on Saturday? He was 11-for-12 for 117 yards with a passing touchdown and a 29-yard run in the fourth quarter to help seal the win. Behind Manning, Texas finished the game 10-for-17 on third down, a tremendous finish after going 2-for-6 on third down with an average to-go distance of 13.2 yards in the first half. *** Wisner was a warrior on Saturday. Along with what he did on the ground, he tallied 34 yards on five receptions, including third-down catches of 13 and 19 yards in the second half. The junior running back put his body on the line in his third Red River Shootout, maximizing runs and making critical plays when the offense needed someone to come through. *** Even on a day when Oklahoma recorded 12 tackles for loss, the Texas offensive line rebounded nicely from last week’s debacle against Florida. The Longhorns ran for 94 yards on 21 carries in the second half, with Nick Brooks and D.J. Campbell getting a push between the tackles at a level the line hasn’t generated against a defense with a pulse. The Sooner defensive line might be the best in the SEC, possibly the country. Still, there was a point in the second half when Texas started leaning on Oklahoma, keeping the offense ahead of the chains; 68 percent of the offense’s snaps occurred on non-passing downs. *** After being docked 25 yards on three penalties in the first quarter, the offense went without an accepted penalty the rest of the way. *** In winning back-to-back games in the series for the first time since 2008 and 2009, Texas has held Oklahoma to 137 net rushing yards (1.98 yards per attempt) in the last eight quarters. *** You have to earn the right to rush the quarterback. The Longhorns did on Saturday, sacking Mateer five times with Colin Simmons (2.5) and Brad Spence (two) leading the way. With the Sooners unable to run the ball, Texas got to tee off on Mateer. When the Longhorns could utilize their pass rushers, Kwitakowski let the dogs off the leash and let them attack. *** Texas held the Sooners to a 1-for-7 effort on third down in the second half on a 6-for-17 day. Other than a few early big plays by Oklahoma (3-for-5 on third down in the first quarter), the Longhorns got off the field on schedule en route to the win. *** Before worrying about next week’s trip to Kentucky or how the second half of the season might unfold, the Texas faithful should savor this one. It’s been tough to find silver linings in a largely uninspiring five-game stretch. In the wake of the Florida loss, the outlook was bleak. Saturday’s win is a reminder that a victory over the Sooners can give everyone with skin in the game an emphatic shot in the arm and be a tremendous springboard when getting into the remainder of the schedule. In the big picture, Venables has a 1-3 record against Texas, with Sarkisian winning those three games by an average of 32 points. Additionally, in Sarkisian’s three wins over the Sooners (3-2 record), Oklahoma hasn’t scored an offensive touchdown. It was a huge win for Sarkisian, who picked up his second victory over a top-five opponent while leading the Longhorns. Winning Saturday’s game means everything the Longhorns hoped to accomplish in 2025 is still on the table. The bottom line is that Texas responded in a must-win game. As a result, the Longhorns are alive to fight another Saturday in the SEC with a chance to have their goals in front of them when they get back to Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at the end of the month.
