It’s about time for the Longhorns’ late October trip to Stillwater, and it figures to be a spooky scene. No. 20 Texas faces No. 11 Oklahoma State in a crucial battle for both teams.
Spencer Sanders has underperformed based on his own standards over the last two games. The veteran quarterback completed just 44% of his passes in a loss against TCU last week. The week before, Sanders posted a 48.9 completion percentage at home against Texas Tech.
Clearly, the Oklahoma State signal caller is not his usual self. Some are speculating that a shoulder injury could prevent him from playing against Texas.
The Longhorns enter the game riding a three-game win streak, while the Cowboys could be fragile following a tough loss to TCU. Nevertheless, Texas will have to overcome a raucous homecoming crowd from the opposition and the toughest conference foe they will have faced all year.
Let’s look at how the teams match up.
