Oklahoma safety Billy Bowman says the Longhorns “didn’t deserve” the win over the Longhorns

The Oklahoma Sooners defense took responsibility for their 34-3 loss to the Texas Longhorns.

But maybe too much.

According to Sooners safety Billy Bowman, the Longhorns didn't deserve their win on Saturday. Instead, he believes his team “wasted” the game for Texas.

“We just gift-wrapped opportunities for them. We just gave it to them,” Bowman said. “We are better as a defense. End of story. We gave it to them. They didn’t deserve what they got right after that interception.”

In defending Bowman, the Sooners made a ton of mistakes against the No. 1 team in the country. They fumbled the ball twice and were sloppy on the defensive side of the ball, resulting in 34 unanswered Longhorns points and 406 yards of total offense.

All of the production came after an interception by the Sooners in the opening period, putting them in prime position to take advantage.

Only they didn't do it. The Sooners then missed a field goal and gave the ball right back to the Longhorns with solid field position.

All in all, and with all due respect to Bowman, the Longhorns thoroughly dominated the Sooners in every phase of the game and were more than deserving of their win.

The turnovers forced by the Longhorns were no coincidence. They were exhilarating and timely plays from players who were in the right position to make an impact. The Horns also couldn't hold Oklahoma to 236 yards of offense and 2.3 yards per carry because the Sooners shot themselves in the foot.

The Texas offense also failed to achieve more than 400 yards of offense and also failed to score 34 points.

Texas dominated the line of scrimmage, their playmakers made plays, and if anything, they left plenty of points on the field in a game that was far more disastrous than the score suggested.

For Bowman, the loss is obviously painful. A defeat in this rivalry always occurs when one of the two teams loses.

But the Texas Longhorns deserve full credit for their stunning win.

And that is a fact.
