As the week has gone on, the idea of Dillon Gabriel being available for this game grows dimmer. If that becomes the case, Davis Beville or General Booty would likely get the start.
At that point, there’s no telling what we’ll get out of the Sooners’ offense.
The bigger story though, is how the defense responds to back-to-back subpar performances. If the defense doesn’t play more like the unit we saw against Nebraska, it won’t matter who plays quarterback for the Sooners, because the offense will have trouble keeping up.
Brent Venables has been adamant that the effort and the preps have been good. The performance has to match this week as the Sooners head into the Cotton Bowl as the underdog.
This one has the feel of a game Oklahoma keeps close through the first half, but Texas pulls away at halftime.
Texas 34, Oklahoma 24
