Burnt orange paint covered the walls in Johnny Wilson’s childhood room, reflecting his love for Texas.
As a kid in Midland, Texas, he didn’t realize his favorite college team would someday become one of his rivals.
Wilson, a redshirt senior center on the Oklahoma State football team, will face the Longhorns during the regular season for the last time at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Austin. His experience against Texas has taught him what to expect.
“I’m so tired after the Texas game, it’s insane,” Wilson said.
