The No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners overcame a shaky second half to down the Texas Longhorns 29-24 in Saturday's Red River Showdown at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield helped lead the Sooners to their second straight Golden Hat by completing 17 of 27 passes for 302 yards and two touchdowns. Oklahoma's ground game, spearheaded by 96 yards on 20 carries from Trey Sermon, combined for 174 yards even with Abdul Adams out due to an ankle injury.
While the Sooners came out on top, for the third straight week they couldn't put away their opponent despite mounting a big lead early.
