DALLAS -- The result of this year’s Red River Showdown -- Oklahoma 45, Texas 40 -- does precisely what we expect from rivalries of this magnitude: Oklahoma further saved its season and further spoiled Texas’ season.
A Texas team whose defense is still in serious disarray attempted to engage the Sooners in a second-half shootout. And Baker Mayfield, Samaje Perine and Dede Westbrook reminded everyone they’re the wrong guys to mess with in a scoring fest.
