national championship game. Keilan Robinson tiptoed the sideline on a 57-yard run for the first of his two touchdowns in the second half as Texas, the only team to beat Alabama entering Saturday, stayed in playoff contention. Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said Saturday that Texas would “certainly deserve consideration” for a playoff spot and the league would strongly support it. With national rushing leader Ollie Gordon II, Oklahoma State (9-4) had won seven of eight games to get to its second Big 12 title game in three years. But Texas scored on its first four possessions, going ahead 28-7 on true freshman CJ Baxter’s 10-yard run early in the second quarter. Texas ballooned its lead to three touchdowns following a 10-yard scoring gallop by CJ Baxter on the Longhorns' opening drive of the second quarter. 
Ewers, again, answered an Oklahoma State touchdown when he and Jaydon Blue connected for an 8-yard touchdown, which made the Texas quarterback the first student-athlete in the Dr. Pepper Big 12 Football Championship game with four passing touchdowns in a single half. The 8-yard play was part of a 422-yard offensive performance by the Longhorns, the most yards in any half of a Big 12 Football Championship game over the last 20 seasons. 
After flirting with his single-game career high in passing yards (369) in the first half, Ewers took the field for the second half and surpassed the mark set against Washington in 2022 on a 4-yard pass to Sanders. 
Michael Bishop's single-game total offense record (442) set against Texas A&M in 1998 by game's end with 458, ahead of Oklahoma's Sam Bradford for the most passing yards (384) in a Big 12 Football Championship game set against Missouri in 2008. 
At the end of the game, Sarkisian put Jonathon Brooks, who suffered a season-ending injury in Texas' Nov. 11 win over TCU after running for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns this year, in at running back with a large brace on his knee. After Manning kneeled for the final play, he turned around and handed the ball to Brooks.
Despite having outscored its opponents by a 200-122 margin in the third and fourth quarters of its previous games this season, Oklahoma State was unable to cut into the 21-point deficit that it entered halftime with. Texas senior Keilan Robinson ran for two touchdowns in the second half to secure the most-lopsided score in a Big 12 Championship Game since 2008.
