Third Quarter Dominance Propels Texas Past Oklahoma in Red River Upset

DALLAS, TX – A dominant third quarter led Texas past rival Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry and saved the Longhorns 2025 championship aspirations. The Horns trailed 6-3 at halftime as the offense continued to struggle through the first two quarters. 

Something clicked out of halftime, however, as Arch Manning & Co. went on a 14-play. 75-yard drive that took 7:11 off the clock and culminated in a touchdown pass from Manning to DeAndre Moore Jr.  Manning was 4-for-4 on third down during the scoring drive, including the strike to Moore. The touchdown gave Texas a 10-6 lead and the Horns never trailed again.
