It seems Texas is just like everyone else on Oklahoma’s schedule. The Sooners still haven’t faced any competition.
No. 1-ranked OU pounded No. 7 Texas 9-0 on Sunday to complete a clean sweep of the Longhorns with three run-run victories.
The Sooners beat Texas 11-1 in Game One and 10-2 in Game Two and has now outscored the Horns by a combined 130-34 in 21 consecutive victories over their Red River Rival.
Motivated by a shockingly lower power rating and by questions from outside the program about how tested they are, the Sooners simply flexed on the college softball world this weekend.

“We knew it was going to be a tough (game) coming in to play,” head coach Mike White said. “We got down early and made a couple of mistakes.”
The Texas offense opened the game lacking its typical zeal. The Longhorns were unable to capitalize on a first-inning scoring opportunity when two runners got caught in a rundown after a failed double-steal.
After the game, White admitted the team made a handful of base-running mistakes.
The Longhorn defense also entered the game without their usual tenacity. Sophomore pitcher Shea O’Leary attempted to lead the team from the pitching circle but found the Cowgirl offense to be a competitive match at the plate.
