As the No. 3 Texas Longhorns gear up for the 119th Red River Rivalry, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian believes exposure against top-25 teams this season will help them against the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners.
“I think the beauty for us is this will be our third top-25 matchup in six games. We’ve been exposed to some high-level football now through five weeks.”
While it’s the first time since 2011 that both teams will meet at the Cotton Bowl undefeated, it’s also the first time the Longhorns enter the game with a higher ranking since 2009.
