No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners vs No. 4 Texas Longhorns: How to Watch, key players, weather forecast for gameday
It’s finally here. The Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns are set to meet in the Cotton bowl in Dallas this Saturday.
This is the 119th meeting in the Red River Rivalry, and both schools enter the game undefeated for the first time since the 2011 season. That game was a 55-17 beat down by the Sooners.
This is a different Texas team, though. They come in with one of the best receiving corps and offensive and defensive lines in the nation. We’ve also seen Quinn Ewers take a step in his play and a running game that had been nonexistent for much of the year woke up last week.
The Longhorns come in with the No. 43 ranked offense and No. 17 ranked defense. The Sooners come in with the nation’s No. 9 ranked offense and No. 30 ranked defense.
This has long been considered the measuring stick game for the Sooners to find out how good they are in 2023.
Without further adieu, let’s look at how to watch, the injury report, and some key players for both schools.
