DL Decommits from Oklahoma Sooners, Shocks Texas Fans with New Commitment Announcement
As Hawkins Jr. pass sailed his final pass over his intended receiver’s head and clock expired, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and Ewers placed the Golden Hat trophy on their heads to cap off the team’s 34-3 win over the Sooners in the Red River Rivalry.
The Longhorns improve to 6-0 for the first time since 2009. For OU, this was the program’s biggest loss since 2022, when they were shut out by Texas 49-0.
Oklahoma made things interesting early, intercepting Ewers on the first possession of the game. Although OU didn’t score there, they kicked a field goal two drives later for the first points of the game — the first time Texas trailed all season.
Yet, that’s when the Longhorns took over.
Taking advantage of the Sooners’ lackluster offensive production all season, the defense forced back-to-back fumbles near the end of the second quarter that translated to two touchdowns. And after Ewers found his footing, the offense meshed easily, scoring 34 unanswered points by the contest’s end.
Ewers went 20-of-29 with 199 passing yards along with two touchdowns and an interception. OU’s offense finished with just 237 total yards, compared to Texas’ 406.
The Longhorns return home next week for their biggest test of the season against No. 5 Georgia, which already has a loss under their belt. Although facing unranked South Carolina next week, Oklahoma has four ranked opponents still to play.
