No. 19 Texas and No. 7 Oklahoma are playing their annual Red River Rivalry game on Saturday in Dallas. You can watch or stream the game on FOX.

Below, we’ll have score updates throughout the remainder of the game. Texas led at halftime, 24-17, as it tried to establish itself as a Big 12 favorite

Third quarter

UT 45, OU 45

Well, that escalated quickly. Oklahoma just scored 21 unanswered points in 4:50 to tie Texas. What an embarrassment for the Longhorns, and what a game.

2:38 to play.

UT 45, OU 38

Kyler Murray ran 67 yards for a touchdown with 5:11 left. He’s lightning.

UT 45, OU 31

Kyler Murray threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Lee Morris with 8:28 to play. Oklahoma needed that but still needs a lot more.

UT 45, OU 24

This might be a blowout. Sam Ehlinger found Lil’Jordan Humphrey for a 15-yard touchdown, Ehlinger’s fifth total touchdown of the day. UT has three touchdowns in four second-half series and has firm command, even though OU’s offense has averaged 12.1 yards per play since the break.

UT 38, OU 24

The Longhorns answer back with another Sam Ehlinger TD run, this one from 2 yards. That’s the Texas QB’s third rushing score of the afternoon.

UT 31, OU 24

A quick, necessary response for the Sooners: on the third play of their drive after falling back down by 14, Hollywood Brown caught a 77-yard touchdown pass from Kyler Murray.

UT 31, OU 17

Texas just started the second half with an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. It finished with Sam Ehlinger running it in from 5 yards, off tackle. The Horns look really good.

UT 24, OU 17


Game preview by James Brady

The No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners will play host to the No. 19 Texas Longhorns in one of the early matchups on Saturday, beginning at 12 p.m. ET on FOX (live streaming via FuboTV, FOX Sports GO). It will be yet another chapter in the Red River Rivalry, but one in which Oklahoma, undefeated at 5-0, is favored.

The Red River Rivalry is one of the oldest and most storied rivalries in all of sports. On the football field, Texas leads the all-time series, 61-46-5, with Oklahoma picking up a 29-24 victory in their last meeting a year ago. They also won the prior year, but Texas managed a win in 2015.

Oklahoma owns five wins, but they have yet to face a ranked opponent this season. Texas is one of three such opponents on the schedule this season. After a season-opening loss to Maryland, Texas righted the ship and scored big wins over then-No. 22 USC and then-No. 17 TCU. Most recently they went to the wire against Kansas State, but came out on top.

Below is all you need to know to watch the action on Saturday.

Texas vs. Oklahoma news

Texas vs. Oklahoma prediction

In the latest S&P+ rankings, Oklahoma is worth 22.0 points, good for sixth in the nation and up two points from a week ago. Texas comes in at just 10.2 points, rising five spots over the past week. This would mean that Oklahoma would have an 11.8-point advantage on a neutral field. It’s a Texas home game, but Oklahoma remains the smart pick here.
