No. 1 Texas ran away with a victory over No. 18 Oklahoma on Saturday in the latest edition of the Red River Rivalry, topping the Sooners, 34-3.
It was a dominant victory for the Longhorns, who will surely retain their top spot in the AP Poll and extended their lead in the Red River series, 64-51-5. Texas has now won two of the last three games against Oklahoma, and the Longhorns celebrated with a callback to Baker Mayfield’s days with the Sooners.
It’s common in this rivalry for the winning team to plant a flag, and one of Mayfield’s most infamous moments from his college career was when he planted a flag on Ohio State’s field after a win.
Well, after Texas beat Oklahoma on Saturday, Longhorns linebackers Anthony Hill Jr. and Barryn Sorrell took the extra step of planting a Texas flag at midfield at the Cotton Bowl — and they did it through a Mayfield Sooners jersey, as On Texas Football’s CJ Vogel reported:
