Texas Longhorns dominated the Oklahoma Sooners 34-3 in the 120th Red River Rivalry, securing the Golden Hat Trophy and maintaining their undefeated record at 6-0. This was the first matchup between the two teams as SEC schools. The 34-3 score matches the 1998 game, which was Mack Brown's first and John Blake's last. Quarterback Quinn Ewers returned from injury, completing 20 of 29 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, along with a rushing touchdown. Texas' defense delivered an impressive performance, holding Oklahoma to just three points and no touchdowns for the first time in two years. The Sooners' offense, decimated by injuries, struggled throughout the game. The Longhorns' defense has allowed only three touchdowns all season, two of which came in fourth quarters of already decided games. The victory marks Texas' fifth-largest margin of victory over Oklahoma in series history. Next, Texas will host Georgia at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium in a top-five showdown in Austin.
