Rapid Reactions: Texas’ Defense WASTED in Oklahoma Loss

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton break down how Texas handed Oklahoma a 27-24 victory despite another championship-level performance from the Longhorns’ defense. Texas held the Sooners to 238 total yards, limited them to 2-of-13 on third down and won the rushing battle—but a blocked punt touchdown, Arch Manning’s pick-six and a late interception gave Oklahoma the openings it needed to steal Red River.

The guys examine a Texas offense that produced explosive touchdowns but ended nine of its 15 possessions with either a three-and-out or an interception. They also address the special-teams breakdowns that have now surrendered touchdowns in consecutive games, what Manning must learn after more than 20 career starts and why the offense must finally begin supporting its defense. With Texas down to one remaining margin for error, how the Longhorns respond against Florida could define their season.
