The biggest week of the regular season is underway. It’s Texas-OU week.
Adding to the intrigue of the game is the uncertainty surrounding both teams. Multiple quarterbacks could start for both teams, as Quinn Ewers, Dillon Gabriel and Hudson Card are all banged up or seriously injured.
I’m not sure anybody truly knows what to think about Oklahoma through five games with new head coach Brent Venables.
Through three games, the Sooners were undefeated and dominant. Some believed they were a College Football Playoff team. Now, bruised and battered, they enter the Red River game with more questions than answers.
Texas has certainly not been easy to figure out through five games. The Longhorns sustained a loss in both their best and worst performances of the year.
The team that stood toe-to-toe with Alabama looked like a playoff team with Quinn Ewers. They have since had shaky performances as talented youth underwent growing pains.
Let’s examine what this week will reveal for both teams.
