Texas handed Oklahoma its worst loss in the history of the Red River Showdown with a decisive 49-0 shutout of the 14-time Big 12 champions. Not only was it the Longhorns' biggest victory in the series, it was the first shut out either way since 2006 and the most dominant victory by either side since 2003.
The win marked a breakout moment for Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, who completed 21 of 31 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns in a total evisceration of Oklahoma's secondary. Longhorns running back Bijan Robinson added 130 yards rushing and two touchdowns.
Oklahoma started QB Davis Beville for the injured Dillon Gabriel, but things fell apart quickly. Beville completed just 6 of 12 passes for 38 yards and an interception in a miserable effort. The Sooners found some success using the Wildcat to generate offensive yardage with tight end Brayden Willis under center; however, it was never enough to break into the end zone.
Defensively, Texas brought consistent pressure and was credited with 10 tackles for loss and 3 sacks. Two of the TFLs came from senior defensive tackle Keondre Coburn. Oklahoma, conversely, failed to get any pressure on Ewers with only two credited quarterback pressures.
Texas had lost six of the last seven matchups against Oklahoma, including five in the Red River Showdown. The victory for Texas over Oklahoma marked the biggest in the history of the rivalry, overtaking a 45-12 win in 2005. The difference? The Longhorns finished undefeated that season and won the national championship. This year, the 'Horns already have two losses, including one to Texas Tech just two games ago. As such, the 2022 Red River Showdown will live in infamy
