Texas was dominant in the early years of the rivalry, recording 6 wins and a tie in the first 7 games. Oklahoma got its first victory in 1905, but did not claim 2 in a row until 1910/11. Both teams have enjoyed long winning streaks at various points in history – the Longhorns won 8 straight Red River Rivalry games from 1958 to 1965, while the Sooners won 10 out of 13 between 2010 and 2021.
