Historic loss for stumbling Sooners

-

Standout freshman Quinn Ewers threw for 289 yards and four touchdowns, Bijan Robinson ran for 130 yards with two TDs and Texas handed Oklahoma its mostlopsid­ed shutout loss ever, 490on Saturday in Dallas.

It was the first meeting between the Red River rivals since 1998 with neither ranked, and the highest-scoring game for Texas in the 118game series that dates to 1900.

Ewers had missed the past three games with a collarbone injury for the Longhorns (4-2, 2-1 Big 12). Meanwhile, Oklahoma (3-3, 0-3) was without starting quarterbac­k Dillon Gabriel, who didn’t play a week after getting hit in the head and knocked out of the TCU game witha concussion.

Pitt transfer Davis Beville got the start, but Oklahoma opted for numerous Wildcat plays and finished with only 39yards passing and 195 overall.

Michigan

Running game coordinato­r Mike Hart is in stable condition but spent the night at a hospital in Bloomingto­n, Ind., after being carted off the field during the first quarter of Saturday’s game against the Hoosiers. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Michigan’s running backs coach and career rushing leader was in stable condition after suffering a medical emergency on the sideline. Trainers strapped him on a backboard and then drove Hart off the field before he was transporte­d to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.

Wisconsin

The Badgers dominated in interim coach Jim Leonhard’s first game, pounding struggling Northweste­rn 427. Graham Mertz threw for a career-high 299 yards and matched one with five touchdowns in Evanston, Ill. Wisconsin fired former Pitt coach Paul Chryst following losses to Ohio State and Illinois by a combined 55 points.
