No. 21 Texas vs. No. 21 Oklahoma preview: Defensive battle may be on tap for Saturday’s Red River Showdown

Ah, one of the best weekends of the year is here. The smell of fried food, the sight of Big Tex, and the Cotton Bowl perfectly divided in burnt orange and crimson and cream. This years Red River Showdown features an undefeated No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners team that has looked shaky at times.

After splitting the first two games against Tom Herman, Lincoln Riley has won the last three matchups against the No. 21 Texas Longhorns. Riley’s predecessor Bob Stoops lost his first Red River Showdown game before winning the next five against Mack Brown.
