It was a poorly thrown pop pass from the running back. Jahdae Barron's pick: Barron's pick with three minutes left in the first half was a big one, preserving the shutout when OU had reached the red zone. More: Bohls: Coaching hot seats are getting hotter faster than ever, hurting college football The three biggest plays from today's game Today the Sooners gave up long scoring drives - lots of them: 90-, 92-, 80-, 79- and 76-yard drives. Oklahoma gave up 668 yards in last week’s 55-24 loss at TCU and gave up scores on plays covering 73, 68, 67 and 62 yards.
No team in Big 12 history has ever come back from an 0-3 start to win the conference title. OU has now lost three straight games for the first time since 1998. Worse yet, the Sooners just looked disinterested today in what should be the biggest game of the year. What's wrong with OU? This season could go way south really quick for the Sooners, whose problems look like they run deeper than just not having starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Texas looks as good as anyone else right now in the Big 12 and still has games against Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Baylor and Kansas to go. The Horns should be ranked again when Sunday's AP poll comes out. And it means we should start recasting this Longhorns season Texas is now 4-2 with a last-second loss to Alabama, an overtime loss at Texas Tech and a blowout win over OU. It means Ja'Tavion Sanders has put that two-week fog against Alabama and UTSA firmly behind him. It means Robinson is heating up at just the right time. It means the Longhorns are still in play for the Big 12 championship. The Longhorns' defense produced three sacks and two turnovers and Texas' first shutout in this series since 1965. Texas defensive end Ovie Oghoufo celebrates a stop during Saturday's 49-0 win over Oklahoma. With Ewers back, the Horns are healthy, the offensive line controlled this game, Bijan Robinson is on a roll and the defense had its way with the Sooners all day. But Texas looked effortlessly dangerous on offense, as solid on defense as we've seen all season and enters the second half of its schedule with a whole lot of steam and momentum. Whether this game is more a statement about the Longhorns or the Sooners, and where these respective programs are in Steve Sarkisian's second and Brent Venables' first year in charge, maybe we won't know until much later this season. Our takeaways from Texas' 49-0 win - the Longhorns first shutout victory over the Sooners since 1965: Did the Longhorns play like 7-point favorites? If you had been asked to lay out a best-case scenario for Texas today, this would have been it: Quinn Ewers back at quarterback, looking better than ever, and the Longhorns look great on offense and defense and blow out Oklahoma - heck, no, shut out the Sooners, while we're at it.
