Recent history favours the Longhorns, and nothing we have seen so far this season suggests that trend is likely to change here.
The defense can force John Mateer into more costly mistakes, while the offense produces a complementary display to ensure Texas puts some distance between themselves and their hosts on the scoreboard.

Texas Take 4-0 Record Into Big SEC Clash
Texas enter this rivalry clash boasting a perfect 4-0 record that has them sitting top of the AP rankings after five weeks.
The Longhorns kicked off the 2026 season with a 59-7 demolition of Texas State, setting themselves up for a huge early-season showdown with Ohio State.
That matchup – which many dubbed a ‘dress rehearsal’ for the National Championship – saw them avenge last year’s loss to the Buckeyes, as they ran out 24-23 winners.
There was no letdown for Texas a week later, as they made straightforward work of UTSA in a 30-6 victory.
The Longhorns then backed that up and made it four-in-a-row las weekend, as they travelled to Tennessee to beat the Longhorns 20-17.
Oklahoma Have Split First Four Games
Oklahoma come into this matchup having split their first four games of the season, and having tasted defeat in their SEC opener.
The Sooners began the 2026 campaign with a shutout victory, as they dominated UTEP in a 51-0 win.
They failed to follow that up a week later though, as they travelled to Michigan for a 17-10 defeat to the Wolverines.
Oklahoma issued an immediate response as they returned home to beat New Mexico, but a 14-6 win was hugely underwhelming.
The Sooners then suffered their second defeat of the season last weekend, as they were blown out at Georgia, 41-13.
Verdict
Oklahoma just got blown out and underwhelmed massively in their last home games.
That spells trouble against a Texas team that has dominated them over the past couple of years and arrives in good form.
