Game Recap
In a commanding performance at AT&T Stadium, the Texas Longhorns overpowered the Oklahoma State Cowboys to claim the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship, with a 49-21 victory. Quinn Ewers, the Texas quarterback, orchestrated the offensive onslaught with 452 passing yards and four touchdowns. The Longhorns set the pace early with Ewers connecting on multiple touchdown passes, putting the Cowboys on the back foot.
Despite a commendable effort from Oklahoma State's Brennan Presley, who snagged nine catches for 93 yards and a touchdown, and quarterback Alan Bowman’s 250 passing yards and three touchdowns, the Cowboys couldn't match Texas' intensity.
