No. 10 Oklahoma 63, No. 15 Texas 21: Backup quarterback Blake Bell rushed for four first-half touchdowns to power the Sooners to a dominating romp in the annual Red River Rivalry in Dallas.

Bell, the 6-foot-6, 255-pound Tim Tebow clone known as the "Belldozer," capped four scoring drives with an 8-yard run and three 1-yard plunges as Oklahoma (4-1, 2-1 Big 12) jumped out to a stunning 36-2 halftime lead en route to its third consecutive win in the series.

Damien Williams rushed for a career-high 167 yards on 22 carries, including a 95-yard first-quarter TD, and Landry Jones threw for 307 yards and two touchdowns to send Texas (4-2, 1-2) to its second straight defeat after opening the season with four victories.

The Sooners rolled up 677 yards of offense and received a suffocating performance from their defense, holding the Longhorns without a first down until the 9:30 mark of the second quarter and forcing six three-and-outs along with two interceptions and a safety in the first half alone.

A pair of 1-yard runs by Bell in a three-minute span of the second quarter pushed Oklahoma's lead to 27-2 before Texas had earned a first down. Longhorns QB David Ash was 13-for-29 for 113 yards with two interceptions and a fumble before exiting with an injured wrist in the fourth.
