Texas Defeats No. 6 Oklahoma in Red River | JQJO

Texas steadied itself after a ragged first half to beat No. 6 Oklahoma 23-6 in the Red River Rivalry, its first SEC win of the season. Trailing 6-3 at halftime, Arch Manning opened the third quarter with a 14-play, 75-yard march capped by a 12-yard strike to DeAndre Moore Jr., then Ryan Niblett’s 75-yard punt return broke it open. Manning finished 21-of-27 for 166 yards and a touchdown, adding 34 rushing yards, while Texas’ defense logged five sacks and bottled up injured OU quarterback John Mateer. “A gut-check,” coach Steve Sarkisian said.
