Oklahoma Sooners Football vs. Texas: Game preview, storylines & predictions

Enough has been written about the Oklahoma Sooners’ 0-2 start to Big 12 play, so I won’t add to it here by beating a dead Bevo. That’s right, the Red River Showdown is finally upon us. Now, it just so happens that the No. 22 Texas Longhorns (2-1, 1-1) are also experiencing some tough times in 2020. Even though this year’s game doesn’t have the national implications most expected it to just a few weeks ago, both sides are beyond desperate for a win. Why? The victor stays in the conference title hunt, wins recruiting points, and earns those oh so tasty bragging rights.
