The Red River Rivalry returns this weekend, pitting the top‑ranked Texas Longhorns against the Oklahoma Sooners in Dallas. The game is set for 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10, and will be broadcast on KSAT.
Texas enters as the nation’s No. 1
Texas has held the No. 1 spot since a decisive win over Ohio State on Sept. 13. The Longhorns are 4‑0 overall and 1‑0 in the SEC, but the Associated Press notes that quarterback Arch Manning has shown wild inconsistency, the offensive line has struggled to protect him, and penalties have repeatedly stalled drives.
Oklahoma looks to spark a turnaround
Oklahoma, once ranked No. 10, is now unranked with a 2‑2 record (0‑1 in the Big 12). The Sooners are 104th nationally and hope quarterback John Mateer can provide the spark they need. Their defense has performed admirably, but it can only hold out so long without offensive support.
Historical context
The Sooners have defeated a No. 1 opponent seven times in program history, though none of those victories occurred while Oklahoma was unranked. This adds an extra layer of intrigue as the Sooners attempt to upset the top‑ranked Longhorns on neutral ground.
What to watch
Both teams have struggled with penalties, punts, and turnovers, according to the AP. Viewers should watch how Texas addresses its offensive line issues and whether Oklahoma can capitalize on any Longhorn mistakes. The rivalry’s traditional Dallas setting adds a festive atmosphere for fans of both schools.
How to watch
The game will be televised locally on KSAT. Fans in the Dallas‑Fort Worth area can also stream the broadcast through the station’s online platform.
As the season progresses, this marquee matchup could shape the national championship picture. Texas aims to solidify its top ranking, while Oklahoma hopes to reignite its campaign and prove it can still compete with the nation’s elite.
