Oklahoma vs. Texas: Series history

Texas leads the series all-time at 65-51-5. However, OU has been better than .500 since the end of World War II and is 17-9 since 2000. The teams met twice in the 2018 season, the second matchup for the Big 12 title — Oklahoma won, 39-27.

Here are some famous games:

1958

Oklahoma had won six in a row against the Longhorns and nine of the past 10 going into 1958. In Texas' head coach Darrell Royal's second season, the former Oklahoma QB ended the losing stretch with a 15-14 upset of the No. 2 Sooners.

1963

For the first time in the series, Oklahoma and Texas met in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup. Texas won 28-7 and didn't lose the rest of the season, which ended with consensus national championship and a win against Heisman winner Roger Staubach and No. 2 Navy in the Cotton Bowl.

1976

Texas coach Darrell Royal accused OU and coach Barry Switzer of spying on practices. , Royal challenged Switzer, assistant coach Larry Lacewell and the alleged spy (Lonnie Williams) to take a lie-detector test and that he would donate $10,000 apiece to the charity of each man's choice if they passed.

It eventually came out that Oklahoma was spying — (when Chuck Fairbanks was the head coach).

Before the 1976 game, President Gerald Ford was with both Royal and Switzer. There wasn't much conversation. In the end, it finished in a 6-6 tie in Royal's final Red River game.

1984

UT was No. 1; OU was No. 3.

Oklahoma coach Switzer wore a "Beat Texas" cap and eventual longtime Texas coach Mack Brown was the Sooners' offensive coordinator. OU led 15-12 late and appeared to possibly make the game-clinching interception in the end zone, but it was ruled incomplete. The Longhorns then kicked a field goal to secure the 15-15 tie.

Didn't know I was wearing "Beat Texas" hat; given to me in downpour. I'd wear today! Wish Bob would!

2000

OU's surprising march to a national championship included a shocking 63-14 drubbing of the Longhorns. Sooners RB Quentin Griffin tied the NCAA record with six rushing touchdowns.

Oklahoma totaled 534 yards to Texas' 154. That started a string of five consecutive wins in the series. It took Vince Young to beat the Sooners 45-12 in 2005 en route to the national title.

2021

One season after OU topped Texas in a 4OT game, the rivals had even more drama. Texas led by 21 points before the No. 6 Sooners scored 25 points in the final quarter to escape with a 55-48 win and remain undefeated. Caleb Williams took over for QB for Spencer Rattler and had 212 passing yards, while Kennedy Brooks rushed for 217 yards and two scores — including the 33-yard touchdown with only seconds remaining.
