Oklahoma is between a rock and hard place as it heads into one of college football’s marquee rivalry games.
It’s Texas week for the Oklahoma Sooners and the team couldn’t need a win more.
Brent Venables is no stranger to this game. He has been a part of it many times, but this will be his first as the head coach. He comes into the game with a team probably low on confidence, bruised and battered and not playing good football.
In his weekly press conference, Venables talked about Texas being four points away from being an undefeated team. He’s right. One of those losses was to Alabama in a game the Longhorns were a play or two away from winning. This team isn’t a slouch and with its health starting to look up, the game is going to be difficult for Oklahoma.
There’s a path for Oklahoma to win this game. How does Oklahoma get there? Here are three keys to victory.
