Oklahoma vs Texas Odds, Point Spread, Picks and Prediction: TV Schedule, Start
Switzer’s Oklahoma teams compiled a record of 9-5-2 against the Longhorns.
A rivalry of this magnitude brings out the best in both teams, and records tend to be forgotten once kickoff arrives. Oklahoma has an opportunity to beat Texas for the fifth time in seven years.
So even though they are Longhorns through and through, Mayes and his family will be rooting for one Sooner on Saturday. Junior quarterback Baker Mayfield has shined thus far in 2015. Baker Mayfield is leading the team with 1,382 passing yards and 13 touchdowns while Samaje Perine has just 328 rushing yards and two scores.
On the season, the Oklahoma Sooners average 358.3 yards in passing and 163.5 yards in rushing. Mayfield has scored four rushing touchdowns. “It’s not the same thing as (in high school)”.
Texas is 1-4 on the season, 0-2 in the Big 12, 1-4 against the spread and 3-2 with the under. Sterling Shepard, the only consistently reliable pass catchers, was sidelined for most of the second half of the season with a groin injury. He’s caught 20 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns this season.
A bright spot for the Longhorns, besides last week against TCU, has been their offense. Texas will try to use Heard’s ability as a dual-threat to overwhelm the favorited Sooners.
-CB Jordan Thomas was one of Oklahoma’s players of the week last week against West Virginia, a game after being suspended for a violation of team rules. The Longhorns’ missed senior offensive lineman Kent Perkins against the Horned Frogs.
“Lol”, said a tweet from Omenihu’s account, which seconds later added, “People get in front of the cameras and just talk they heads off. Always remember think before you speak”. “They just want to go out and play the game on Saturday”. This year, the trio of Gray, D’Onta Foreman and the elusive Jerrod Heard must get the job done.
“We are very aware of the tough schedule [which] is probably the most that is overlooked in regards to Texas and where they’re at right now”. In receiving, John Burt had 36 yards in two receptions.
TCU Coach Gary Patterson even served up a zinger before the game.
If OU wins, Governor Abbott has selected to send a shipment of Railhead BBQ from Fort Worth to City Rescue Mission, a non-profit partnering with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, in Oklahoma City.
The Texas Longhorns take on the Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Saturday and Governor Greg Abbott has challenged Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin to a UT-OU barbecue wager.
Within minutes after he left the podium, Strong’s players put those promises to the test, publicly exposing a rift between a few of the team’s veterans and a talented group of freshmen that have forced their way onto the depth chart with scant success on the field.
Bedford said Texas’ biggest key to moving forward is regaining momentum and confidence.
A different outcome in the Cotton Bowl would allow Mayfield to break the hearts of several childhood friends, a prospect he relishes.
