The week is here. The stage is set, and the Oklahoma Sooners are set to take on their most despised rival, the Texas Longhorns.
After beating Cincinnati on the road and hanging 50 points in a 30-point win against Iowa State, Oklahoma is 5-0 (2-0 Big 12). Texas is also 5-0 (2-0 Big 12) and has beaten Alabama on the road. The win against Alabama has catapulted the Longhorns’ season into the stratosphere. The expectations for Texas are now sky-high.
They enter the game ranked No. 3 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, while Oklahoma is No. 12.
