Oklahoma Star Billy Bowman Claims Texas 'Didn't Earn' Red River Rivalry Win

In front of over 92,000 fans, the No. 1 Texas Longhorns throttled the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners by a score of 34-3.

Oddly enough, most would walk away from the game with the thought that Texas didn't play their best game of football. It was evident that quarterback Quinn Ewers was a bit rusty after missing the last two games, and like he did last year, he threw a pick on the first drive.

As they did all game, the Texas defense prevented the Sooners' offense from getting into the end zone after the pick. Oklahoma did have a chance to put three on the board with a field goal, but missed.

It was a missed opportunity that Oklahoma would have loved to get back, and safety Billy Bowman made that abundantly clear. When talking to the media after the game, Bowman expressed that he felt that after that interception, Texas' success came because of Oklahoma's issues, not anything they did well. In fact, he went as far as to say that Texas "didn't earn" their success.

"We just gift-wrapped them opportunities. We just gave it to them," Bowman said. "As a defense we’re better than that. End of story. We gave it to them. They didn’t earn what they got shortly after that interception."

While it's unclear exactly what he means, considering Texas was controlling every aspect of the game, Oklahoma did have chances to make plays. It just didn't happen.

The Sooners were outgained 408-237, lost the turnover battle, had more penalties and were an abysmal 4-of-15 on third down.

Bowman's understandably upset with the loss to the program he was once committed to, but he seems to have missed the mark on this one.
