When the Oklahoma Sooners travel south of the border to rematch archrival Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game on December 1st, it’ll be the first in-season Red River Rematch in over a century.
In fact, this extremely rare occurrence has only happened twice before — in 1901 and 1903. Unfortunately for OU, the outcomes of those pair of rematches did not result in victory. In 1901, the Sooners and the Longhorns played a home-and-home series to open and conclude the season. UT won the first meeting in Austin, 12-6, and the rematch in Norman, 11-0.
