Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma State: Biggest storylines heading into Saturday

As kickoff approaches for Saturday’s Big 12 slugfest, we examine the main storylines for the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Not sure you are aware, amid all of the turmoil surrounding the Texas Longhorns, but there is a game this Saturday. The Longhorns travel to Stillwater to take on the sixth-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday afternoon. On Halloween will we see more trick or more treat?

Texas has an opportunity to get back to two games above .500 if it can pull off the upset. Otherwise it will be right back to where it was after the Oklahoma game, taking a step forward and then a step back. This game will have it’s fair share of storylines. A lot will revolve around embattled head coach Tom Herman.

The Longhorns under Herman haven’t fared well against top 12 teams in the regular season. In fact the only win in the eight games came against the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2018 Red River Rivalry game. Can he get No. 2 on Saturday?
