Storylines
Neither team has been overly impressive in running the ball this year. But, the Texas Longhorns are currently trending upward with a pair of wins over ranked foes. However, the biggest test awaits in the Cotton Bowl as Tom Herman hopes to secure a marquee win. Relying on the play of the defense, UT continues to limit opponents’ scoring opportunities. Can this secondary keep up with the speed and talent the Oklahoma Sooners possess at the receiver position?
Oklahoma may have the most efficient offense in the country. Yet, this test provides the best secondary Kyler Murray has faced all season long. Starting for the first time in th RRR, Murray must remain poised. On the other side of the ball, it’s poor tackling that remains the story of the Sooner defense. In a heated rivalry, the Sooners are once again favored heading into the contest. Will the undersized secondary be able to limit the big play consistently?
