WATCH: Texas puts together four first-half scoring drives

The Texas Longhorns entered today’s Red River Shootout as a touchdown favorite over the Oklahoma Sooners. So far, they’re living up to the billing.
Bijan Robinson got on the board first, following a 90-yard scoring march and 7-0 lead, mid first quarter.
It was Quinn Ewers to Xavier Worthy for the second score of the first half, finishing a 92-yard drive and giving UT the 14-0 lead, early 2nd quarter.
Not a scoring strike, but what a throw and catch from Ewers to Bijan Robinson.
Texas’ third scoring drive went 80 yards, culminated in this Ewers to Keilan Robinson screen pass, and a 21-0 Texas advantage, midway through the second quarter.
Just before the half, Ewers hits tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders for the scoring toss and the 28-0 lead heading into the half.

Game Notes
There is no rivalry quite like the Texas-Oklahoma series, which is played for 118th time on Saturday. Texas is the only Big 12 program with a winning record against OU and leads series, 62-50-5.
The series, which began in 1900, has been played in Dallas since 1912 and at the State Fair since 1929. Saturday marks the 100th time the game will be played at a neutral site in Dallas.
The first matchup between the two teams in 1900 ended with a 28-2 Longhorns’ victory.
Only Texas A&M (118 times) has played the Longhorns on as many occasions. Since 1900, the only years Texas and Oklahoma have not played were 1918, 1920, 1921, and 1924-1928.
Both teams enter the game unranked on the Associated Press Poll for the first time since 1998, a 34-3 victory for the Longhorns.
