Texas won’t be fooled by the national rankings.
The Longhorns hilariously trolled Oklahoma on social media following their dominant 23-6 victory over the No. 6 ranked Sooners in the annual Red River Rivalry game on Saturday afternoon.
The team posted a screenshot on X (formerly Twitter), jokingly reporting Oklahoma Football’s Instagram account for impersonating to be “a good football team.”
Texas quarterback Arch Manning celebrates with fans after defeating Oklahoma in an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 11. APTexas (4-2) secured its signature win of the season in front of a sold-out crowd at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Not only did they conquer the previously undefeated Oklahoma (5-1) — they humiliated them in front of 92,100 strong and on national television.
The almighty Sooners, who came into Dallas averaging 33.8 points per game, didn’t score a single touchdown on Sunday. They led at halftime on a pair of field goals but went radio silent in the final two quarters.
Arch Manning, who has struggled to meet the expectations that came with his legendary last name, completed 21 of his 27 passes for 166 yards and the go-ahead touchdown pass on the opening drive of the second half.
They never looked back after that.

“We learned how to fight today,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. “We saw the true character of the men in that locker room.”
And after the beatdown, Texas landed one last jab after the bell.
