The Opening Kickoff
The University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma square off in the 2016 version of the Red River Showdown on Saturday morning in Dallas. The rivalry, which has been played every year since 1929 at the Cotton Bowl, is considered one of college football's best. The Longhorns enter the game having lost two straight to fall to 2-2 overall. They are coming off a 49-31 loss at Oklahoma State last week to drop to 0-1 in the Big 12 Conference. Oklahoma also enters the game at 2-2 overall, having beaten TCU to open up conference play.
