The No. 5-ranked Texas Longhorns took down the top-ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday in front of a raucous home crowd, essentially showing their worth on a country-wide scale.
With the win the Longhorns keep their undefeated record in tact while Oklahoma settle for 5-1.
The match, which ended 45-35, was the first since 2004 to take place while each school ranked in the nation's top five and a possible coming out party for Texas, at least as legitimate contenders.
The game was a back and forth affair with Oklahoma striking first. After the initial quarter, the visitors had taken a 7-3 lead, however, it wasn't long into the second when Texas started to show signs of battling back.
The second half for the most part belonged to the Longhorns, as they outscored their opponents 25-14.
Texas freshman Cody Johnson ran three touchdowns in his first three attempts while quarterback Colt McCoy threw for a touchdown of his own.
Leading the way for the visiting Sooners was 20-year-old sophomore Sam Bradford who threw five touchdowns and a total of 379 yards in the loss.
Elsewhere on the early college football schedule, Kansas University took down Colorado 30-14.
