Texas dominated Oklahoma from start to finish, methodically controlling the line of scrimmage and capitalizing on Sooner mistakes to retain the belt with a decisive 34-3 victory in Norman. After Oklahoma's Tyler Keltner opened the scoring with a 42-yard field goal in the first quarter, Texas took over, with Quinn Ewers orchestrating a devastating second-quarter assault that saw the Longhorns score three touchdowns in rapid succession, including a Gunnar Helm receiving TD and two rushing scores set up by consecutive Oklahoma turnovers. The Sooners managed only 239 total yards and turned the ball over twice while struggling to convert third downs (4-15), and by the time Texas added two more field goals and a fourth-quarter rushing TD from Ewers himself, the outcome had long been decided. Texas's superior time of possession (27:53 to 32:07, though Oklahoma had more) and rushing attack (177 yards) wore down an Oklahoma offense that could muster only 148 passing yards and 91 rushing yards, making this a thorough defensive and offensive performance by the belt-holders.
