Texas outguns Oklahoma in Red River Shootout

---

Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - Colt McCoy directed a pair of fourth-quarter drives that ended in short scoring runs by Cody Johnson, as fifth-ranked Texas captured the 103rd edition of the Red River Rivalry with a 45-35 victory over No. 1 Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl.

Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford had the better numbers, throwing for 387 yards with five touchdowns, but McCoy wasn't too shabby either. He connected on 28-of-35 passes for 277 yards with one touchdown, and added 31 yards to Texas' ground attack that churned out 161 yards.

Johnson finished with three short touchdown runs, while Chris Ogbonnaya did the heavy running with 127 yards on 15 carries for Texas (6-0, 2-0 Big 12), which has won three of the last four meetings and could be in line for the No. 1 ranking next week.
