DALLAS, Texas – The clock struck 6:05 P.M. Central Time inside the Cotton Bowl and the Golden Hat Trophy was on the head of Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian as his top-ranked Longhorns were celebrating their 34-3 thumping of the No.18/16-ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday afternoon.
It took six games into the 2024 season for an opponent to take the lead against Texas (6-0, 2-0), but the Longhorns quickly overcame Oklahoma's 42-yard field goal on the Sooners' (4-2, 1-2) third offensive drive of the game, a drive that took 4:42 off the clock and saw OU move the ball just 38 yards on 11 plays.
