There is going to be high level talent all over the field on Saturday when Texas and Oklahoma square off for the annual Red River Showdown.
Texas is looking to end Oklahoma’s win streak in the series as they have won the last three meetings. The Longhorns were able to end TCU’s win streak against them last week, but can they keep that momentum going and do the same against Oklahoma?
Both teams are coming into this game ranked as Texas jumped back into the polls this week at the No. 21 spot, and Oklahoma is the No. 6 team in the nation.
Both teams badly need this win, as Oklahoma needs a signature win on the season, as they have yet to play a ranked team, and have barley beaten the FBS teams they have played who are a combined 9-12 on the season. Texas also needs a signature win, as they are still looking to prove the loss against Arkansas was a fluke. With a win, Texas could very well skyrocket to the top-10 as well.
Each team will be relying on their star players whether that be Bijan Robinson for Texas or Nik Bonitto for Oklahoma, to make game-changing plays in order to give their team the win.
Both of these soon to be SEC teams have loaded rosters, but some position groups on Texas are better than the ones on Oklahoma, and vice versa. Which position group would I choose from each side in order to build the perfect team? I’m glad you asked.
