Overview

  • Oklahoma fell to Texas 23-6 in the Red River Rivalry, failing to score a touchdown for the third time in four years against the Longhorns.
  • Quarterback John Mateer, recently cleared after hand surgery, threw three interceptions and finished 20-of-38 for 202 yards with minimal rushing impact.
  • Protection and run-game issues were pronounced, with five sacks allowed and only 48 rushing yards on 30 attempts as injuries and penalties disrupted the offensive line.
  • After Brent Venables said this is not like the “old Big 12” weeks, the Big 12’s official X account replied that he “lost eight conference games” in his two Big 12 seasons, drawing wide online reaction.
  • Now ranked No. 14, Oklahoma visits South Carolina on Saturday before a daunting SEC stretch that includes Ole Miss, Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri and LSU.
