    All-time record between Texas and Oklahoma

    Kathleen William Posted on

    One of college football's richest rivalries is here: the Red River Rivalry between No. 1 Texas and No. 16 Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

    And for the first time this year, the Red River Rivalry will be considered an SEC matchup after the Longhorns and Sooners joined the conference from the Big 12 in the offseason.

    The Longhorns are looking to bounce back from last year's game, when No. 3 Texas was defeated by No. 12 Oklahoma 34-30 after then-Sooners quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw a game-winning touchdown pass with 15 seconds left. Texas is also expected to get starting quarterback Quinn Ewers back on Saturday after the 6-foot-11 quarterback was sidelined in Week 2 with an oblique strain.

    Required reading: Where does the Red River rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma rank among the biggest games in the SEC?

    Oklahoma will start true freshman quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. in Saturday's game after the Dallas native took over as the Sooners' starting quarterback following Week 4 against Tennessee. The Sooners recently had the Longhorns' number and won 17 of the last 24 meetings.

    Saturday's Red River Rivalry, which pits Texas and Oklahoma, the fourth- and sixth-winningest programs in NCAA history, respectively, marks the 120th meeting between the arch-rivals.

    Here's what you should know about the Red River Rivalry Series record and more:

    When was the first game of the Texas-Oklahoma, Red River Rivalry?

    According to Texas records, the Longhorns and Sooners first met in Austin in 1900. When Texas beat Oklahoma 28-2 in that contest, the state of Oklahoma was not one of the 50 states of the United States and was instead referred to as the “Twin Territories.”

    Oklahoma did not become the 46th state of the United States until November 16, 1907, when then-President Theodore Roosevelt approved Presidential Proclamation 780, which admitted Oklahoma as a state.

    Texas-Oklahoma, Red River Rivalry record

    • Series record: Texas leads 63-51-5
    • Texas' last win: 2022 (49-0)
    • Oklahoma's last win: 2023 (34-30)

    According to Texas' record, the Longhorns lead the Red River Rivalry all-time series against Oklahoma 63-51-5, although the Sooners have won five of the last six meetings.

    Texas' longest winning streak against Texas in the Red River Rivalry was eight games from 1958 to 1965. Oklahoma's longest winning streak against Texas in the Red River Rivalry was six games from 1952 to 1957.

    As noted in Texas' game notes for this week, the Longhorns are 4-0-1 in their six Red River games against the Sooners, making them the top-ranked team in the country. It will be the 19th time since 2000 that Texas and Oklahoma will participate in the River River Rivalry as two ranked teams.

    Saturday's meeting between the Longhorns and Sooners will be the 39th time the two teams have met as top-25 teams.
