Kyler Murray Throws 3 TDs, Oklahoma Beats Texas to Win 2018 Big 12 Championship

The Oklahoma Sooners remain kings of the Big 12 after avenging their October loss to the Texas Longhorns with a 39-27 win in Saturday's conference championship game.

In the long history of the Red River Rivalry, this marks the first time Oklahoma and Texas have played twice in the same season. The fifth-ranked Sooners not only got revenge for their only defeat this season, but they are also in prime position for a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Kyler Murray picked apart the Texas defense, going 25-of-34 for 379 passing yards, 39 rushing yards and three passing touchdowns.
