    Texas Football takes on the Oklahoma Sooners in the first meeting between the bitter Cotton Bowl rivals as SEC foes, and Oklahoma’s stout defense performed well against a potent Longhorn offense early in the game before Texas in scored three touchdowns in the second quarter to seize. an impressive 21-3 lead at halftime.

    Week 1 starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, who missed the past two games due to an abdominal strain, struggled early in his return. The No. 1 Longhorns came into the game as a two-touchdown favorite over No. 16 Oklahoma, but it took a while for Texas to find a groove. But in the second quarter, the Longhorns had more than 200 yards.

    Bert Auburn misses a 44-yard field goal to end the half. The Longhorns converted on a fourth-and-2 at the 14-yard line on a Jaydon Blue run, but a holding call on tight end Gunnar Helm pushed Texas back. Credit Texas safety Derek Williams Jr. for setting up the fumble after stripping Taylor Tatum and recovering the fumble.

    It’s a Longhorn avalanche in the waning moments of the first half. Anthony Hill Jr. strips OU quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. during a scramble, and defensive tackle Vernon Broughton pounces on the loose ball. One play later, Quintrevion Wisner rips off a 43-yard touchdown run. No hassle this time.

    2:21 2Q: Texas 14, Oklahoma 3

    A Texas touchdown in a most unlikely way. Quintrevion Wisner goes loose for a 36-yard run, but Sooner defenseman Robert Spears-Jennings punches the ball out at the 10-yard line. As the ball bounces toward the back of the end zone creating a potential touchback, Longhorn receiver Silas Bolden rushes downfield and recovers the fumble before it bounces out of the end zone. As Chris Fowler said on ESPN: “Crazy stuff at Red River. You always have to expect it.”

    The rush at the Texas Pass is starting to become palpable. Barryn Sorrell had a sack to stifle an OU drive, and the Longhorns now have two official sacks. It must feel like more for OU freshman QB Michael Hawkins Jr., the first true freshman to ever start for the Sooners in this game.

    The Texas offense begins with an 11-play, 75-yard drive, capped by a throwback pass from Quinn Ewers to Gunnar Helm for a 7-yard score. Ewers hit DeAndre Moore Jr. for a 26-yard completion and Helm for a 21-yard completion on the ramp.

    The story of the game so far? Oklahoma’s defense. The Longhorns have eight yards on their first three drives without a drive and an interception.

    Oklahoma’s Tyler Keltner scores a 42-yard field goal to give the Sooners the lead. So far, this OU defense has smothered Quinn Ewers and the Texas offense. The Longhorns have eight yards on their first three drives.

    In the first three drives, the Texas offense has eight yards and no first downs with one interception. No, impatient Longhorn fan, we don’t see Arch Manning warming up on the sidelines.

    So far, Texas’ defense has faced two major challenges. Oklahoma started its second possession at midfield after a personal foul against Texas on a punt return, but a perfectly timed blitz and a sack by safety Michael Taaffe sent the Sooners backward. Let’s see if Quinn Ewers can settle for Texas after missing a number of open receivers on the Longhorns’ first two drives.

    Texas’ defense holds out in its first test. OU’s Tyler Keltner misses a 44-yard field goal attempt. Oklahoma coach Brent Venables passed up an opportunity to go for it on fourth-and-4, a decision that sounds very much like a defensive coordinator move.

    the first snap of the game then missed a wide open Matthew Golden on third down. Even worse? The pass sailed into the arms of OU safety Billy Bowman for an interception.

    A nightmare start for Quinn Ewers. The Texas quarterback, returning to action for the first time since Week 3, took a sack on the opening snap of the game and then missed a wide-open Matthew Golden on third down. Even worse? The pass sailed into the arms of OU safety Billy Bowman for an interception.

    How has Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers played after returning from injuries the past two seasons? Not bad, considering the numbers. After missing three games in 2022, Ewers completed 21 of 31 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns with one interception in a 49-0 win over Oklahoma. In 2023, Ewers threw for 317 yards and a touchdown with an interception on 22-for-33 passing in a 29-26 win over TCU after missing two games.

    After being listed as questionable on Texas’ availability report for most of the week, punter Michael Kern has been cleared in Saturday’s latest injury report. That includes Longhorn safety Derek Williams Jr., who was listed as questionable earlier this week. Kern has impressed as a freshman in limited opportunities, averaging 42.8 yards on 11 punts and placing four of those punts inside the 20-yard line. Williams, a sophomore, played at safety the first three weeks but hasn’t played since suffering an injury against UTSA in the third week of the season.

    After being listed as questionable on Texas’ availability report for most of the week, punter Michael Kern has been upgraded to probable for Saturday’s game against Oklahoma. Kern has impressed in limited opportunities this season, averaging 42.8 yards on 11 punts and placing four of those punts inside the 20-yard line. He has forced punt returners into five fair catches and has no touchbacks. He also handles holding duties on extra points and field goals.

    Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, a Heisman Trophy candidate and a three-year starter for the Longhorns (5-0, 1-0 SEC), has missed the past two and a half games because of abdominal pain. He will be back under center and is 1-1 against the Sooners in his career.

    RED RIVER ROUTE?

    Barring a flurry of turnovers, the Longhorns should face a Sooner team struggling to find its offensive identity.

    LOTS OF PEACE, NO RUST FOR QUINN

    The Sooners have a great defense, but can’t keep up with the Longhorns. Quinn Ewers returns and shakes off some early rust to keep the SEC title train on track.

    STATE FAIRNESS CAN WAIT; Don’t leave early

    The results of the last decade of this rivalry suggest that this match will be close. The results of last weekend’s college football games suggest this game will be close. Guess what? The 120th meeting between Texas and Oklahoma will be close. Texas wins, but don’t expect fans to leave the Cotton Bowl looking for Corny dogs until this game is over.

    BIG GAP STARTS AT QB

    Texas will win this game comfortably if it wins the turnover battle. With Quinn Ewers likely back under center and a freshman Michael Hawkins Jr. is a quarterback for the Sooners, he probably feels that way.
