Wide Receivers and Tight Ends
Cam Coleman (WR): Texas’ highest-graded skill player of the afternoon. Coleman was targeted 10 times, pulling in 5 receptions for 110 yards and an explosive 42-yard touchdown strike, registering an elite route-running grade in the low 80s.
Ryan Wingo (WR): Wingo continued to showcase big-play efficiency, hauling in 2 receptions for 57 yards and a 34-yard touchdown, finishing with a high-70s receiving grade.
Emmett Mosley V (WR): Mosley served as a reliable underneath chain-mover, securing 5 catches for 43 yards on 7 targets to grade out solidly in the mid-60s.
Jermaine Bishop Jr. (WR): Capitalized on his limited snaps with a 15-yard red-zone touchdown grab, scoring near 70.0 in short-yardage execution.
Nick Townsend (TE): Recorded 3 receptions for 18 yards, grading out favorably in pass protection but finishing with an average mark in run blocking against Oklahoma’s active defensive line.
Running Backs
Derrek Cooper (RB): Cooper paced the backfield efficiency, taking 8 carries for 41 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and generating steady yards after contact to post a team-best running grade above 70.0.
Daylan Smothers (RB): Led the backfield in total touches with 12 carries for 39 yards and 2 receptions for 19 yards, earning solid marks in pass protection despite limited open running lanes.
Raleek Brown (RB): Contributed 22 rushing yards on 5 attempts (4.4 yards per carry) with 1 reception, grading around the baseline 60.0 mark.
Offensive Line
Pass Blocking: Texas held up well in early downs but surrendered 2 sacks and multiple second-half pressures as Oklahoma brought blitz packages from the second level. The tackles graded moderately well against standard four-man rushes, but pass-blocking efficiency fell behind late in the fourth quarter.
Run Blocking: The interior offensive line struggled to generate consistent displacement between the tackles against Oklahoma’s defensive front, which limited Texas to 122 total rushing yards on 32 attempts (3.8 yards per carry) and kept Texas’ offensive line run-blocking grades below season averages.
