Last year, the pinnacle of the regular season for the Texas football program was knocking off the Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Rivalry in Dallas. Texas was able to get the best of rival Oklahoma on a last second field goal and win by the final score of 48-45. But Oklahoma exacted their revenge in the Big 12 Championship Game.
The Texas Longhorns football program does own the all-time series edge in the Red River Rivalry over the Sooners. Texas leads that series by a record of 62-47-5. But that is one of the closer rivalries for the Longhorns in program history.
