Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners: Live in-game updates

The 120th edition of the Red River Rivalry game and the first in the Southeastern Conference is set for the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

The Texas Longhorns enter the matchup as the top-ranked team in the country for the first time in 40 years and are looking to bring the Golden Hat back to Austin after suffering a crushing loss to the Oklahoma Sooners last year.

Today's game marks the return of quarterback Quinn Ewers to the field after missing two games with an abdominal strain, head coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed. On the other hand, Brett Venables will rely on freshman Michael Hawkins Jr. as Oklahoma's starting quarterback after benching Jackson Arnold against Tennessee. This will be Hawkins' second career start.

The mood in Dallas was already heated before kickoff. Oklahoma linebacker Danny Stutsman, who wore an “Oklahoma is only afraid of God.” “Texas Fears Oklahoma” t-shirt after OU’s win over the Longhorns last season, left the bus with a “Horns Down” necklace.

No. 1 Texas and No. 18 Oklahoma promise a big game. Follow below for updates.
