Texas and Oklahoma meet for their annual rivalry game on Saturday. There are multiple matchups that could determine the outcome of the game.
Steve Sarkisian exploited matchups last season, making sure Xavier Worthy got his fair share of touches. Worthy torched the Sooners’ secondary finishing with 261 receiving yards.
Much of Worthy’s success was set up by a dominant performance by Bijan Robinson the week before. Robinson ran for a career-high 216 yards against TCU just before the Oklahoma game. Texas capitalized on Oklahoma’s preoccupation with Bijan and Worthy announced his presence to the college football world.
Oklahoma had a couple matchups of their own to use to their advantage. Alex Grinch’s aggressive front six adjusted to Steve Sarkisian’s attack and creatively got to the quarterback. The Sooners’ pass rush simply out-matched the Texas offensive line.
Let’s take a look at who Texas and Oklahoma will look to this season.
