The series is one of the major rivalries in NCAA football and in all of American sports.[2] The name is derived from the Red River that forms part of the boundary between Texas and Oklahoma that has in the past caused conflict between the two states, most notably the 1. Red River Bridge War.
There are three Red River Shootout trophies exchanged based on the outcome of the game. The best known of these is the Golden Hat, which is, appropriately, a gold ten- gallon hat, formerly of bronze.
The trophy is kept by the winning school's athletic department until the next year.[3] A newer trophy, the Red River Rivalry trophy, has been exchanged between the two student governments since 2. The governor of Texas and governor of Oklahoma also exchange the Governors' trophy and frequently place a bet on the game such as the losing governor having to present a side of beef to the winning governor, often donated to charity.[4][5][6]Another annual tradition is the running of game balls by the schools' Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs.[7] Each school's ROTC program uses a relay running system to run one game ball all the way from their respective campus to Dallas. Once there, they participate against each other in a football scrimmage, with the winner taking home a rivalry trophy and bragging rights. For both teams, the rivalry is bitterly emotional and territorial in nature relating to the two states' close proximity, past border disputes and economic and cultural differences.[8][9][1.
Series history[edit]The game originated in 1. Oklahoma was still a United States territory and the Oklahoma campus was still in Oklahoma Territory.[1. Until the 2. 00. 5 meeting, the 1. Red River Shootout. In 2. 00. 5, it was sponsored by SBC Communications, and the game was officially renamed the SBC Red River Rivalry, with the word "Rivalry" replacing "Shootout" out of a desire not to convey an attitude of condoning gun violence.
In 2. 00. 6, with SBC's merger with AT& T Corporation, the game was renamed the AT& T Red River Rivalry. In 2. 01. 4, the name changed again and is now the AT& T Red River Showdown. The term Red River Shootout or Red River Showdown is also applied to meetings between the two schools in sports other than football. During a Q& A session with De.
Loss Dodds (the Athletic Director of UT) during the Big 1. Dodds stated in an interview, "That game – the rivalry game for us has always been Oklahoma. The A& M game's been a great game and all of that. And we may play 'em. But it's not something that we have to do. I think the Oklahoma game is something we have to do."Texas leads the post World War II record with 3.
OU's 3. 3 wins and 3 tied games. Since 1. 93. 6, the first year of the AP Poll, at least one of the teams has come into the game ranked 6. Texas leads the all- time series 6.
However, since '3. Texas leading 4. 1–3. In 2. 00. 5, the The Dallas Morning News asked the 1. Division 1. A football coaches to identify the top rivalry game in college football.
The Red River Rivalry ranked third, behind only Michigan–Ohio State and Army–Navy.[1. A page from the 1. OU Yearbook depicts the 1. The first meeting between Texas and Oklahoma's football teams occurred in 1. At that time, the Texas team was typically called "Varsity".
The write- up in the Austin American- Statesman article referred to the game as a "practice game".[1. The paper reported: The game of football yesterday afternoon at the Varsity athletic field was an interesting contrast, notwithstanding the rather one- sided score of 2. Varsity. The Oklahoma men played a very good game, but they had weak points and the Varsity men found this out, and proceeded to take advantage of them.
For instance, the visitors' tackles and ends were weak, and the Varsity men made most of their gains through these men. Their guards and center, though, were stiff enough, and the Varsity's attack at these points never netted large gains, and were frequently futile. While Oklahoma should be given credit for the stiffness of her center trio, the fact that the Varsity backs made but small headway at these points is partly due to the Varsity backs themselves. They had not the life and dash that is necessary to successful line plunging, and they failed to heed Coach Thompson's oft repeated admonition to hit the line low and with speed, and the consequence was that when they got to the line they did not have the necessary momentum to plunge on through. This was the case, notwithstanding the fact that the men are coached to play a good distance behind the line, so that they can get up speed by the time they reach it.[1. In the 1. 95. 0 rivalry game, Billy Vessels scored on an 1.
Texas native Jim Weatherall kicked the extra point to give Oklahoma a narrow 1. In 1. 95. 8, Texas defeated Oklahoma by one point, breaking the University of Oklahoma's series dominance of the 1. The game was notable in that Texas Longhorns head coach Darrell Royal had 1. Oklahoma Sooners. Royal defeated his former coach and mentor Bud Wilkinson in the game. Wilkinson would lose to Texas the next five years before retiring in 1.
The 1. 96. 3 game featured #1 Oklahoma versus #2 Texas, the seventh regular season #1 versus #2 game (eighth, overall) in the history of the AP Poll. Texas won the game, took the #1 ranking and kept it for the rest of the season, winning its first national championship.
The 1. 97. 6 rivalry game was overshadowed by allegations by Texas coach Darrell Royal that Oklahoma had been spying on his practices. The claim was later confirmed in OU Coach Barry Switzer's book, Bootlegger's Boy. Royal and Switzer (who was 3–0 against Texas as a head coach coming into this game) were involved in a serious feud at the time. The 1. 97. 6 game was attended by U. S. President Gerald Ford.
Ford made an appearance with Royal and Switzer before the game. Switzer and Royal both spoke to Ford but not to each other.
The game ended in a 6–6 tie. It was Royal's final Red River Shootout. In the 1. 97. 7 game, Texas lost both their starting and backup quarterbacks in the first half. Yet, behind the power running of eventual Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbell, a strong defense, and the unheralded composure of third- string- quarterback Randy Mc.
Eachern, the Horns prevailed 1. In a rain- soaked 1. Texas entered the game ranked #1, Oklahoma #3 (#2 in some polls). University of Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer wore a ballcap during the game that read "Beat Texas." This game also marked the only time that future University of Texas at Austin head coach Mack Brown participated in the Red River Shootout not as a Texas Longhorn (Brown was OU's offensive coordinator). Texas jumped to a 1.
OU rallied to lead 1. With 1. 0 seconds remaining, trailing by 3, Texas was driving and was within field goal range but decided to take one more shot at the end zone. Texas quarterback (and future North Texas head coach) Todd Dodge appeared (in replays) to be intercepted in the end zone by OU's Keith Stanberry, but the officials ruled it incomplete. Texas's Jeff Ward subsequently kicked a field goal and the game ended in a 1. The first Big 1. 2 Conference overtime game, the 1.
John Blake squad under the direction of freshman quarterback Justin Fuente. The game ended Oklahoma 3. Texas 2. 7 after a come from behind victory in the final seven minutes. Jarrail Jackson returned a punt 5. Fuente completed a 2- point conversion pass to Stephen Alexander to cut the lead to 2.
The Sooners forced the Longhorns to punt, and drove to the Texas 2. Jeremy Alexander kicked a 4. In overtime, Texas was forced to settle for a 4. Phil Dawson field goal, after losing 1 yard on three plays.[1. Lining up at the Texas 2. James Allen broke a ten- yard run, carried for two and three yards, then caught an 8- yard screen pass from Fuente on 3rd and 5 from the 1.
On the next play, Allen took a pitch from Fuente two yards into the endzone, doing what he was unable to do two years before.[1. The 2. 00. 0 game was marked by rain and 4. Oklahoma would top its feat three years later).
Oklahoma came into the game ranked 1. Texas ranked 1. 1th.
This was the highest combined rankings of the teams since 1. The Sooners got up to a 4. Texas was able to prevent the shut- out, and Oklahoma won the game 6. OU also held Texas to minus- 7 yards rushing, an all- time regular- season low for the Longhorns. Longhorn coach Mack Brown said "It wasn't even a game because we did not play in the first half." Sooner coach Bob Stoops said, "This was a total team victory, everybody made plays. We had a little bit of everything." Stoops improved his record vs the Longhorns to 1 win, 1 loss as a result of the game.[1. OU President David Boren cancelled classes the following Monday on account of inclement weather: "It was snowing touchdowns in Dallas."[1.
Sooner running back Quentin Griffin scored six touchdowns, tying the all- time NCAA record for most rushing touchdowns in a game. Oklahoma went on to an undefeated season, and won the 2. National Championship. The 2. 00. 1 game, which ended Oklahoma 1. Texas 3, was a classic defensive struggle that was notable for a play made late in the 4th quarter.
