Since 2010, the No. 25 Texas Longhorns are 6-2 the week after losing to the Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Showdown. The two losses? To the No. 12 Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Head coach Mike Gundy’s Cowboys come into Saturday’s contest 5-0 for the first time since 2015 and mark the third AP Top 25 team the Longhorns have faced this season.
In last year’s thrilling 41-34 victory in overtime, Texas edge Joseph Ossai single-handedly took over the game to help knock off the then-No. 6 team in the nation.
Ossai is off to the NFL but Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders is still at the helm, looking to win his first game against Texas after losing his first two games against the Horns.
