Week 7: Oklahoma vs. Texas
The Red River Rivalry has produced some amazing games over the years, including last year’s 45-40 barnburner, which the Sooners hung on to win.
Baker Mayfield is back for another go-round with Oklahoma after foregoing the NFL draft. While he won’t have many of his favorite tools on offense, the Sooners do still feature one of the most exciting offensive weapons in the nation, tight end/receiver Mark Andrews.
We already know Buechele and Co. have the stones and the chops to hang with the Sooners, so this game will boil down to turnovers and big plays on special teams. The Sooners must be favored, but given Tom Herman’s arrival it’s anyone’s guess how much better Texas can be.
One thing we do know is the volume gets turned up all the way when these two teams meet.
