Oklahoma beat Texas 27-24 in the Red River Rivalry on October 17, 2026, the first time the Sooners have beaten Texas while unranked and the Longhorns were a top-10 team. Oklahoma had lost to Michigan earlier in the season and its coach was considering benching the quarterback. Arch Manning threw a pick six and a late interception, and Texas also had a blocked punt and eight penalties. The discussion turns on whether Manning should leave for the NFL rather than stay in college.
