DALLAS – The Golden Hat is coming back to Austin.

Even with star quarterback Quinn Ewers back in the lineup, the No. 1 Texas Longhorns were far from their best on Saturday. However, they were still dominant against their rival Oklahoma Sooners, crushing their Red River rivals 34-3 in the Cotton Bowl.

Things got off to a sloppy start for Texas, with an interception on the opening drive and multiple subsequent three-and-outs, giving the Sooners an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter.

However, thanks to Texas’ defense, the Longhorns were able to minimize the damage and regain control of the game in the second quarter with a touchdown connection from Ewers to Gunnar Helm.

It was all Texas after that, with the Longhorns scoring 34 unanswered points to seal the victory and bring back the Golden Hat.

Offensively, the Longhorns had their flaws, but they were still able to rack up 406 yards of offense. Running back Quentrevion Wisner was the star of the show offensively for Texas, rushing 13 times for 118 yards and touchdown, while averaging a whopping 9.1 yards per carry.

Ewers, on the other hand, was a bit rusty out of the gate, and while he was able to make a handful of big plays, he finished the day completing 20 of 29 passes for 199 yards and the score for Helm, along with a rushing touchdown.

On the other side of the ball, the Longhorns defense remained stout for the sixth straight game, holding the Sooners to just 236 yards of offense, including just 112 yards through the air from Sooners true freshman QB Michael Hawkins Jr.

With the Golden Hat returning to Austin, the Longhorns will turn their attention to their biggest test of the season when No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs come to DKR next Saturday.

Kickoff against the Bulldogs is scheduled for 6:30 PM CT on ABC.
