If history repeats itself when Oklahoma State plays Texas in the Big 12 Championship at 11 a.m. Saturday, the Cowboys better hope it’s recent history.
And there’s a lot of history there since 1916 — 38 games after Saturday that will be bookended by the only neutral site meetings between the programs. Texas holds a 26-11 edge in the all-time series. Most of that advantage comes from the early days of the series, though, including a stretch of 12 straight Longhorn wins between 1998-2009.
OSU beat Texas in 2010 and 2011 (the first time the Cowboys had beaten the Longhorns twice in a row) to end that 12-year drought.
