Oklahoma Football Suffers Third Highest Point Margin Loss Since 1900

The University of Oklahoma football team suffered a devastating loss to the University of Texas today, 49-0. This is the third highest point margin in a Sooners loss since 1900, with only the Nebraska Cornhuskers having beat OU by more (62 in 1997 and 52 in 1996). The game started off strong for Oklahoma, with their defense holding Texas to no points in the first quarter. However, as the game progressed, it became clear that they were no match for their opponents. The Longhorns scored 14 points in the second quarter and then 21 points each in both the third and fourth quarters. The Sooners offense was unable to make any progress against Texas’s defense and failed to score even one point throughout the entire game. The outcome of this game has been met with disappointment from fans across Oklahoma who had hoped that their team would be able to pull off an upset against one of their biggest rivals. Unfortunately, it appears that those hopes have been dashed and that Oklahoma’s football program is still struggling to find its footing after a few years of decline. Head coach Lincoln Riley has come under fire for his lack of success over recent seasons, but he insists that he still believes in his players and is confident that they will bounce back from this defeat stronger than ever before. However, some fans are beginning to question whether or not Riley is truly capable of leading this team back into contention for Big 12 titles and beyond. Only time will tell if Oklahoma can turn things around following this crushing defeat at the hands of Texas. Until then, all eyes will remain on Lincoln Riley as he attempts to lead his team out of what could be an extended period of mediocrity on the gridiron.
