For a conference known for its high-flying offenses, the Big 12 Championship game could all come down to a span of 20 yards.
As the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners face off in Arlington, lost in all of the offensive hype is the red zone battle between two teams trending in opposite directions.
The Sooners, who easily boast the nation’s top offense, lag only slightly behind their top offensive rankings in the Red Zone, coming in at No. 19 when attempting from inside the 20. During the first meeting, Oklahoma not only scored on every red zone possession, they did not settle for a single field goal in their five trips inside the 20.
