Ryan Niblett's 75-yard punt return touchdown secured Texas' 23-6 win over No. 6 Oklahoma, preserving College Football Playoff hopes, officials said.
- On Oct. 11 in Dallas, Texas scored 23 unanswered points to beat sixth-ranked Oklahoma 23-6 in the Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl.
- The rivalry is rooted in long-term history and titles as the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns joined the SEC on July 1, 2024, after 28 years in the Big 12 Conference.
- A pivotal play came when Ryan Niblett returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown to extend Texas' lead to 20-6 with 9:59 remaining.
- The victory preserved Texas' playoff window as the Texas Longhorns retained the Golden Hat and should re-enter the AP poll Sunday, with both teams facing new opponents next Saturday.
- Oklahoma's defense remains elite, leading the nation at 193.0 yards allowed per game and three total touchdowns through five games, while John Mateer, Oklahoma quarterback, returned 17 days after hand surgery.
