The Texas Longhorns have struggled against the Oklahoma State Cowboys for the past decade. They blew a double-digit lead last year in Steve Sarkisian’s first game in the series.
Texas found itself up 17-3 late in the first half and in position to put the game out of reach. Then Jason Taylor II picked off Casey Thompson and took the ball 85 yards to the end zone.
Texas scored out of halftime to make the game 24-13. Afterward they didn’t score again. Mike Gundy’s Cowboys tallied the final 19 points defeating the Longhorns 32-24 in Austin.
This year’s team is on a revenge tour that has seen Texas flip the script in each of this season’s rematches. Last season Texas lost to Oklahoma by 7 points, Iowa State by 23 and West Virginia by 8. The Longhorns have combined to beat those teams by a margin of 70 points.
Let’s look at what could swing this year’s matchup with Oklahoma State in their favor.
