  • Sooners need consistent run game to avoid being one-dimensional against Texas

    Eric Bailey and Mason Young reflect on recent Red River rivalry games, and preview this week's OU-Texas matchup. Oklahoma cannot be one-dimensional against the Longhorns, which means more consistency in the run game. Also, could Texas transfer receiver Brenen Thompson be an X-factor in the Sooners offense this Saturday? On the defensive side, Eric and Mason talk about the challenges that will face the Sooners (and the Longhorns also also not allowed many points this season).
