[HornSports Staff]

Texas heads to Dallas with an unbeaten record and the nation’s No. 1 ranking. Oklahoma arrives needing a win that would change the direction of its season. On Saturday, the Longhorns and Sooners meet at the Cotton Bowl for the 122nd installment of the Red River Rivalry, with Texas seeking its third consecutive victory in the series.

The Longhorns survived their first SEC road test with a 20-17 win at Tennessee before taking a week off. The Sooners also had an open date after their last outing, a 41-13 loss at Georgia. Texas enters at 4-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play; Oklahoma is 2-2 and looking for its first SEC win.

For Texas, Saturday is a chance to keep its championship ambitions on course and retain the Golden Hat. For Oklahoma, it is an opportunity to put a difficult September behind it against the opponent that matters most.

I agree... you can never take this game for granted either way. However, I do like our situation much better than theirs. Hopefully, the bye week helped with focus, penalties and self-scouting of tendencies.
