We can now commence the endless analysis, predictions, and smack talk!

Bradford gets hurt again...still first QB taken in draft....OU loses its third game already to fall to 3-3....and some how still wont fall past 25 in rank....OU falls from prominence and all the top recruits that Texas has been losing to them will finally stop

i hope your right, but i still think this game will be close and hard fought, i just hope we can pull it off, if we win this week and the next two (at mizzou and at Okie State) im asking off the day of the national championship game! no one is stopping us then!!

wow, look at me looking ahead already! no i still think OU is gonna be a tough game! i wish bradford didnt play baylor, i think he got some good work in before the big game, they would have lost the way their offense was off sink today if they were playing texas

At some point between now and next Saturday at 11AM, the Longhorns must find a consistent running game out of the shotgun formation. At least 80 percent of their offensive snaps are taken from the shotgun; it they can't run from it effectively, the OU defense will swarm Colt McCoy.

we need to just pick a guy the problem is nobody is getting enough reps to get going.

I always love this game.

Especially when Texas is favored.


I agree about the running game too. Texas HAS to run the ball better.


I would be worried about their run defense too but not against OU. They run the stretch play almost everytime and that will play into the speedy Texas Defense.

We still haven't seen Colt McCoy break away from his shell this year. Hopefully this week he takes it to 5th gear.

Aw, Texas gets more than its fair share of in-state recruits... in fact, right now they're at the top of the Rivals' leaderboard for the next crop of recruits...

I don't mind if OU gets their leftovers, I like it when they think they're good enough to win the Red River rivalry...

This is a must win for UT, the rest of their schedule is not tough enough to get them back in the top 2 if they lose.
Offensively they havn't look as good as people where hoping/expecting they would this season.

This is OUs last chance to do anything this year. A win on Saturday would put them in the drivers seat for the Big XII south a loss would be the final nail in their coffin this season.

It's going to be a great game as usual when these 2 teams play on Saturday. i've been waiting for this one ever since last season ended. I do believe there's going to be even more bad blood then usual this year after how last season ended

 

[Chinfu]

As a Sooner fan I'm not very confident that we can get the W. I know it's a rivalry game and all of that but our O-line is terrible. Maybe the D can keep it close and we can steal one away.

 

[ABQcowboyJR]

Texas is gonna cement the rest of their season.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Oh Yeah! Finally, Red River week is here. Can't wait for Saturday.

Hook'em Horns Ya'll!

 

[Avaj]

I love this weekend. I live in Dallas, well actually McKinney which is close to OK. You see fans everywhere. I think Texas will pull this out. It will definitely be a good game since Sam B. is back.

Go on switzersflask, predict another OU win so we can all go put money on UT :laugh2:

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Switzer, shouldn't you be out getting caught in somebodies AP with a gun, paying off some young recruit or making some rediculous prediction of victory, only to get your but kicked and disappear for 3 months?


I love Red River week.

 

[StylisticS]

This is the time I wish I was back home in Texas. Nothing like it here in the DC area. I think Texas has the better team. Thought so even before the season began and everybody was healthy or accounted for.

I didn't disappear. I came back a week after and ate the crow. Get your ish straight bud.

My prediction is OU 31 UT 21. Texas should win that game because OU just isn't where they should be right now, but UT is a bunch of underachieving pieces of garbage that can't even respectably defend their home turf against the likes of Texas Tech or COLO-FREAKIN-RADO.

It will be a good game.

I have OU winning because they have everything to prove and UT thinks they are just the greatest thing to ever touch a football even though they fail year after year at winning the conference.

2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008. You know what that is? It's all the Big XII titles we've won. Now here's yours. 2005. Congrats. Losers.

actually genius, the Horns won the first ever Big 12 Championship in 96....

2006, UT beat OU. Colt got hurt on a play that never should have happened. Selvin Young scored on 3rd down against KSU, but the refs didnt think so. UT went for it on 4th down, Colt scored on a QB sneak, but injured his neck and didn't return. KSU won the game, cause Snead sucked. Colt came back, though he shouldn't have, against the Aggies. He was still injured but played anyway. The Aggies D teed off on him, including a few questionable hits. A&M won the game, it was the 3rd loss for the Horns that year......as they lost to tOSU earlier in the season. OU needed an injury to Colt to win the south and the Big 12 Championship.

2007.....OU beat UT. The Horns also lost to KSU and A&M that year as well. OU proved to be the better team during this season.

2008....UT beat OU. TT beat UT. OU made a habit of running up the score with their starters as to look good to all the voters. The Horns were a few seconds away from an undefeated season, a Big 12 Championship, and a chance to play Florida. However, OU won the 3way tiebreaker. I was bitter at first, but rules are rules.

I just wish OU would follow through with all their chances in these title games. They keep going and getting beat down...it is embarrassing to the Big 12. OU is kinda like the Atlanta Braves of College Football.

I would consider them to be bigger underachievers than UT. BTW, if the Horns win this Saturday, they will be 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the two teams.
