Four things Texas needs to do in order to beat Oklahoma State

Four things that must happen for Texas to defeat No. 12 Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Texas is fresh off one of the biggest blunders in college football history.

Last week in the Red River Showdown, the Longhorns blew a 21 point lead and ultimately lost to the Oklahoma Sooners in the final minute.

While many believe Texas will have a chance to avenge the loss in December, they first have to get through a tough slate of games. Next up is a very sound No. 12 Oklahoma State team who is 5-0 on the season. Defeating the Cowboys would certainly help their chances of making it to the Big 12 championship game, but it won’t be easy.

In order to reach their conference goal, the Longhorns will need to treat every game as if that win controls the fate of their season. The remaining games on their schedule will now have little to no margin of error.

Oklahoma State has the potential to expose Texas if the mistakes from last week aren’t corrected. Here are four things that Texas absolutely needs to do to ensure that they do not suffer a loss two weeks in a row.
