Oklahoma and Texas collide for the 116th time on Saturday in what is widely regarded as one of the premier rivalries in all of college football.
Despite Oklahoma having a bit more historical success than Texas in terms of national championships, conference titles, and Heisman winners, the Longhorns hold the all-time series lead over the Sooners by a count of 62-48-5.
Texas is the only team in the Big 12 to hold an all-time series edge over Oklahoma. However, the Sooners do hold the advantage in the more modern history of this rivalry.
Since 1971, OU leads the series 27-20-3 and in the Big 12 era they lead 15-10. Even more recently, eight of the last 11 Red River Showdowns have gone the way of the Crimson and Cream.
The last Texas win came in 2018’s regular season contest – although the Sooners would get revenge later on in that season in the Big 12 title game.
Oklahoma also holds the largest win in the series from the 2003 tilt where they obliterated the Longhorns by a score of 65-13.
But, while the largest margin of victory belongs to the Sooners, the longest win streak in the rivalry belongs to Texas when they won eight straight meetings from 1940-1947.
Since 2014, every game has been decided by 12 points or less, with the only game being more than one possession coming in the 2018 Big 12 Championship game referenced earlier.
The next installment in this historic rivalry will take place Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. CT at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
