Texas vs Oklahoma Game Preview

Why Oklahoma Will Win

What’s going right after two straight ugly performances?

QB Dillon Gabriel is questionable at very, very best after suffering a concussion in the 55-24 loss to TCU, the defense couldn’t do anything right in the 41-34 loss to Kansas State, and …

The running game still works. It struggled against TCU – especially when Gabriel got knocked out – but overall the rotation of backs is working, the offensive line is doing a solid job, and it all has to click against a Texas defense that struggled against Alabama’s ground game but has been solid against everyone else.

The Longhorns aren’t taking the ball away – none in the last two games and just two on the year – the offense isn’t controlling the clock, and …

Why Texas Will Win

Is Quinn Ewers ready to go?

While Oklahoma is prepping backup quarterback Davis Beville and giving JUCO transfer General Booty practice time, Texas is hoping to get its No. 1 QB back after getting knocked out in the Alabama loss.

No matter who’s under center, the Longhorn offense will be about three things: Bijan, Bijan, and Bijan.

The Oklahoma defensive front can get behind the line, but it has been miserable against the run with Kansas State and TCU ripping off yards in huge chunks.

The quarterbacks did the most damage – Kansas State’s Adrian Martinez and TCU’s Max Duggan each ran at will – but the backs got involved, too, and now it’s Bijan Robinson time. He hit the 100-yard mark over each of the last three games, he’s averaging six yards per carry, and he’ll keep getting fed until OU proves it can stop him.

What’s Going To Happen

This is one of those games that never, ever disappoints.

Texas looked like it was going to make a massive national statement as it ripped through Oklahoma in the first half of last year’s game, and then Caleb Williams stepped in and had other ideas in the 55-48 Sooner win.

OU survived the crazy 53-45 shootout in 2020, it pulled off a close win in 2019, Texas won in 2018 thanks to Cameron Dicker the freshman kicker, and on and on and on.

And sometimes weird things happen.

A mediocre 2015 Texas team handed a College Football Playoff-bound Oklahoma its only loss of the regular season.

The Sooners have owned the Red River Showdown lately, but these games are almost always close, there are always wild momentum swings, and they always play a huge role in the Big 12 title chase.

In this insane year in the conference with all ten teams good enough beat any of the other teams on the right day, this is even more of a must win than normal for two coaches who can’t lose this.

An Oklahoma win might show that the Brent Venables era really might be okay with a little bit of time, and a Texas win would settle that part of the base that’s not quite sold yet on Steve Sarkisian.

Oklahoma will make this close throughout with its best performance in a few weeks, but the problems at quarterback and leaky run defense will be too much to overcome.

Texas vs Oklahoma Game Preview

Why Texas Will Win

We did this a few weeks ago and it didn’t go well.

Oklahoma couldn’t hit a thing from three, Texas lived on the free throw line, and it was a 66-52 Longhorn win that was never all that close.

Texas might be coming off a rim-rocking from Baylor, but overall it’s still playing defense as well as any in America – even with Kansas and Baylor combining for 156 points over the last two games – and with a whole lot of good things happening against teams that need to hit from the outside.

Oklahoma needs to be on from three to win. it’s 12-0 when making 35% or more of its threes, and 2-11 when it doesn’t.

Texas allows teams to hit 31% from three. However …

Why Oklahoma Will Win

Texas isn’t close to being the same team away from Austin.

Dominant at home, the Longhorns are 15-1 including that blowout win over Oklahoma. On the road they’re 3-6 and have a hard time from three.

Oklahoma is hardly a rock at home, but it plays defense from three, moves the ball around just fine, and it hits 48% from the field.

As long as the defense can clamp down on the Longhorns from the outside, and if the O can keep the turnovers and mistakes down a bit from its normal problems, it should be right in this for a full 40 minutes.

What’s Going To Happen

Texas is playing well, Oklahoma isn’t.

Yeah, the Sooners aren’t that bad from the field, but they have to be great from three and they have to prove they can get the offense going against a defense that clamps down hard.

The problem will be shows peek turnovers. They’ve slowed a tad lately on the mistakes, but Texas will force at least 15 turnovers for just enough transition and easy points to get out alive.

Why Texas Will Win

Oklahoma has lost its groove.

It was rolling right along and looking like a possible contender to at least finish in the top three in the Big 12, but the offense hasn’t been clutch, the defense couldn’t stop Oklahoma State in back-to-back losses, and now it’s on a three-game losing streak and in desperate need to catch a wee bit of a break.

Texas has been a bit flaky, but when it’s flaky-good, everything is falling, the threes are there, and the team has been playing well even with a loss to Texas Tech when the O went cold.

OU allowed Oklahoma State to hit close to half of its shots over the two-game stretch. Texas should be able to do that same with an extra pass or two getting it done – the team has hit 49% or better from the field in six of its last ten games.

Why Oklahoma Will Win

When Texas is on, it’s great from the field. It doesn’t have turnover problems, it’s moving the ball around well, and it’s good enough from three to open everything up.

When Texas is off, it’s like pulling teeth. The team was able to beat Kansas even when nothing was falling from three, but it was off in the first meeting with OU and lost 80-79.

For all of the Sooners’ problems, it’s shooting relatively well. They haven’t been great on the boards, but they’re not turning the ball over and they were right in there in the three losses.

What’s Going To Happen

Oklahoma will pull up out of the nosedive by cranking up the defense a bit.

Oklahoma State’s offense was terrific in the two wins over OU, but before that, teams were having a hard time hitting from three. The Sooners will keep Texas to under 30% from the outside, but will struggle just enough on the boards to keep from pulling away.

Expect this to come down to the last few possessions.

Texas (13-5) vs Oklahoma (13-5) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college basketball, go to BetMGM

Why Texas Will Win

Texas keep on shooting well but it needs a bit more of a break.

On fire hitting half of its shots or more in three of the last six games – and 49% against TCU – the Longhorns are making things happen on the move and they’re generating enough rebounds to come up with second chance points.

Can there be a few more threes? Texas only hit six of 25 in the first meeting with OU – an 80-79 Sooner win – but the defense was able to do its part from the outside.

Texas plays the best three-point D in the Big 12, it owns the glass, and now it just needs to be a wee bit hotter than it was back in Norman in late January.

Why Oklahoma Will Win

The Sooners just don’t make enough mistakes.

They don’t commit enough fouls to give up a ton of free throws – but when they do, there’s a problem – and they don’t give the ball away for easy points. They were +3 in turnover margin in the first meeting and shot 15 more free throws.

Unlike Texas – who’s been shooting well but it doesn’t translate into wins – Oklahoma wins when it shoots well and loses when it doesn’t. Over the last 15 games, it’s 11-1 when making 40% or more from the field, and 0-3 when it doesn’t.

However …

What’s Going To Happen

The Texas defense hasn’t allowed 40% from the field in two of its last three games, but it’s allowing almost 41% overall on the season.

Can the Longhorns rise up and pull this off at home? It’ll be another fun game between the two, but once again, the Sooners will do a bit more on the line and will be a bit more careful with the ball in a tight win.
