The Horn Sports staff gives you their predictions for the 2013 Red River Rivalry:

Johnny Whisenant

From an offensive perspective, this is not the quick strike Sooners who whipped Texas the last two years, but with our limitations at quarterback, the gap will be very similar. For any chance of success, Texas must score seven on its opening drive and play with reckless abandon. Dominic Espinosa must have the game of his life.  On Defense, Texas has to make the tackle, force at least 3 turnovers, and Malcom Brown must play like the unblockable beast we all think he is. The game might not to south as quickly as the others have, but be honest: What has Texas shown you to make you think they win this game?

While I would like to make some sort of logical relationship with respect to how close West Virginia and Notre Dame played Oklahoma and how Texas might find a way to keep it close…. I just can’t.  The Texas offense has been extremely non-prolific and heading into Fair Park tomorrow against one of the nation’s best defenses spells a recipe for disaster.  The X-factor in this game is none other than Mack Brown.  If coach can manage to muster a few turnovers and throw a few successful trick plays in the mix, I can see the Longhorns having hope.  In the end Oklahoma proves to be too much – but they STILL SUCK.

Oklahoma is completely beatable this year, and it will happen more than once. Unfortunately Texas doesn’t have the team to do it.

Oklahoma 38, Texas 16.

OU wins the game easily. I don’t see a blow out but I do see another big loss for the Longhorns.

Oklahoma 24, Texas 9 (and OU still SUCKS)

Corey Elliott

The Texas defense HAS to get off the field on 3rd & short situations and WRAP UP & tackle. Case has to play smart. Don’t take Texas out of the game with costly errors and they MUST use Johnathan Gray and the rest of their talented backfield. RELY ON IT!  If Texas does those things they have a really good chance.  In the end, I don’t think Texas has a perfect day in their deck of cards.

While OU isn’t as fast or dynamic as in years past, they are still very good on offense and defense. The Longhorns aren’t good at either.  I expect the Texas to be motivated and play with more intensity than in years past but OU pulls away in the end.

Oklahoma 41, Texas 17

And, we asked one of our Longhorn pals up in Washington what he thought and here’s what he had to say:

@HornSports Take the Horns and the pts. Or, heck, take Texas straight up. TX 45, OU 42. You hear it here first. #HookEm
