DALLAS – Texas scored 23 unanswered points en route to another dominant win over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry on Saturday, Oct. 11.

The Sooners, led by quarterback John Mateer, who returned from injury, jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in the first quarter. But it was all Texas from there, as Mateer tossed three interceptions and the Longhorns' defense was dominant in the 23-6 win.

Texas quarterback Arch Manning was efficient in the win, completing 21 of 27 passes for 166 yards with a touchdown, adding 34 yards on the ground on four carries. Running back Quintrevion Wisner rushed for 94 yards on 22 carries.

Texas held Oklahoma without an offensive touchdown for the third time in the last four seasons, all of which have come under Sooners coach Brent Venables. Mateer finished the game 20 of 38 passing with 202 yards and three interceptions, and was sacked five times.

Here are the highlights from the Longhorns' 23-6 win over Oklahoma.

Texas wins 23-6

Texas dominates Oklahoma in the second half, and scores 23 unanswered en route to another dominant win over the Sooners. Texas bounces back from its upset loss to Florida, while the Sooners are going to have some questions to answer in the coming weeks.

Texas leads 23-6

Texas hits another field goal to extend its lead to 23-6 late in the fourth quarter. The Longhorns turn the Red River Rivalry into a blowout for the third time in four years.

Texas forces turnover on downs

Oklahoma goes for it on fourth-and-22, and Texas' pressure gets to Mateer, who makes an errant throw intended for Jaren Kanak.

Texas regains possession with 5:36 remaining in the fourth quarter, and has all-but secured a win in the Red River Rivalry.

Texas returns punt for touchdown

That might do it for the Longhorns, as Texas' Ryan Niblett returns a punt 75 yards for a touchdown to make the score 20-6 with 9:59 left.

Oklahoma has been outplayed in every facet in the second half.

Texas misses 56-yard field goal

Texas' 56-yard field goal to go up two possessions falls short, keeping the score at 13-6 with 11:38 remaining in the fourth quarter.

A two-possession lead for the Longhorns might've been the game, given how Oklahoma's offense has looked.

Texas intercepts Mateer for third time

Mateer appears to have a long run into Texas' red zone, however, the play is called back due to holding. Texas then picks off Mateer for the third time on the next play, resulting in Longhorns ball on Oklahoma's 44-yard line.

Brutal swing for the Sooners.

Texas tacks on another field goal

Texas extends its lead to 13-6 on a 48-yard field goal by Mason Shipley just before the end of the third quarter.

The Longhorns easily won the quarter, outscoring Oklahoma 10-0 and outgaining the Sooners with 143 yards to the Sooners' 26.

Oklahoma goes three-and-out

Mateer nearly throws another interception on two different plays before Oklahoma goes three-and-out on its first possession of the second half.

The Sooners are going to need to find some rhythm offensively soon.

Texas takes 10-6 lead

The Longhorns find the end zone first, as Arch Manning hits DeAndre Moore Jr. for a 12-yard touchdown on the first drive of the second half.

Manning is quietly having a solid game, completing 16 of 20 passes for 114 yards with a touchdown so far.

Mateer throws another interception

Mateer throws another interception, costing Oklahoma at a scoring chance before halftime. Malik Muhammed picks off Mateer again as the Sooners faced third-and-2 with 16 seconds left, keeping Oklahoma from a field goal or touchdown.

Adding to the disastrous scenario for the Sooners is questionable clock management from Brent Venables, who calls a timeout after letting nearly 20 seconds of clock wind down before calling a timeout.

Texas is held to field goal

Texas drives to Oklahoma's 3-yard line, but can't punch it in and is held to three points.

The Longhorns still trail 6-3 with 4:29 left in the first half after the 22-yard kick by Mason Shipley.

Quintrevion Wisner gets loose

Texas running back Quintrevion Wisner breaks free for a 37-yard gain, resulting in the most explosive play for either team so far.

The Longhorns are into Oklahoma territory at the 37-yard line.

Oklahoma takes 6-0 lead

The Sooners aren't having a ton of success offensively, but they are doing just enough, as Tate Sandell hits a 41-yard field goal with 9:09 left in the first half.

Mateer is 9-of-16 passing for 89 yards with an interception, along with six rushes for three yards.

Why is Paige Bueckers at Oklahoma-Texas?

Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers is in the house for Oklahoma-Texas, and appears on the ESPN broadcast for the Red River Rivalry.

Bueckers, the No. 1 pick of the 2025 WNBA Draft, was the league's rookie of the year this season and an All-WNBA second-team selection. She also threw horns up while being interviewed by Holly Rowe.

Derek Simmons injury update

Oklahoma starting right tackle Derek Simmons was tripped up and was down on the ground holding his knee after a run play. Simmons, who needed help to walk off to the sideline, is being replaced by third-string offensive tackle Luke Baklenko.

Baklenko is a first-year transfer from Stanford.

Texas misses 55-yard field goal

Mason Shipley's 55-yard field goal attempt hits off the right upright, as Texas can't capitalize on the turnover.

The Longhorns were pushed back to fourth-and-24 following a few negative plays paired with penalties.

Mateer throws interception

Mateer attempts a pass to Jaren Kanak into double coverage, and the throw sails and is intercepted by Malik Muhammed.

Mateer has now thrown an interception in each of his starts this season, and gives Texas the ball at the Longhorns' 42-yard line.

Oklahoma, Texas trade punts

Oklahoma hasn't been able to get its run game going so far, but neither has Texas, as the Longhorns' offensive line continues to get dominated at the line of scrimmage.

Sooners regain possession with 5:23 left in the first quarter.

Texas punts

Texas' offensive line struggles continue, as it's forced to punt after a 1-yard loss on third-and-23.

Oklahoma takes over with a 3-0 lead with solid field position at its own 46-yard line.

Sooners strike first with field goal

Oklahoma's opening drive stalls out in Texas territory, but the Sooners take a 3-0 lead on a 42-yard field goal by Tate Sandell.
