For the fourth time in four years, Texas and Oklahoma will meet up as ranked opponents. No rivalry in college football has been more consistent in producing entertaining and high quality games.
Saturday’s matchup at the Cotton Bowl is going to be no different. It’s a battle of Steve Sarkisian and Lincoln Riley, two of the best offensive minds in the sport. The rightful name for the game, Red River Shootout, should truly become a shootout this year.
Tipico Sportsbook has the Sooners favored by 3.5 points. 2012 was the last time Texas-Oklahoma was decided by at least double digits, putting the term “throw the record books out the window” to good use.
To get a better idea of how Oklahoma is going to attack Texas, we turned to our friends at Sooners Wire. Thanks to managing editor John Williams for featuring in this week’s “Behind Enemy Lines” feature.
Come for the football questions, stay for the State Fair food.
