No. 12 Oklahoma and No. 3 Texas renew Red River Rivalry
Both Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and Oklahoma counterpart Brent Venables said they're approaching Saturday's showdown like any other week.
The atmosphere, the crowd -- split down the 50-yard line between Texas and Oklahoma fans -- and the lead-up all make it different from any other game on the schedule. The Longhorns have big-game experience this season, having knocked off then-No. 3 Alabama 34-24 back on Sept. 9. But the Sooners are in much better shape entering this year's matchup than they were last year, when Oklahoma entered on a two-game losing streak and without quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who was knocked out the previous week with an injury.
He's been excellent this season, completing nearly two-thirds of his passes for 1,358 yards, 10 touchdowns and an interception. He has also run for five scores.
