Controlling the clock will be key for Texas vs. Oklahoma in Big 12 Championship

When the Texas Longhorns dealt the Oklahoma Sooners their first and only defeat in the Red River Showdown in early October, they did so behind a few key areas of success.

Turnovers come to mind, as Texas won the turnover battle 3-to-0, cashing in with 10 points, and the Longhorns loomed large around the line of scrimmage, forcing a sack and seven quarterback hurries on the elusive Kyler Murray.

More telling than maybe any other stat, though, is the time of possession advantage Texas enjoyed in a game that came down to the final seconds.
