The matchup that saw ESPN’s College Gameday make its way to the Texas State Fair in Dallas, TX, was the confirmation that Texas football is for real. We got some clues as to how good the Longhorns could be after the wins over the likes of the USC Trojans, TCU Horned Frogs, and Kansas State Wildcats. But, that win over the Oklahoma Sooners was the proving factor.
Another great aspect of the 2018 version of the Red River Shootout was the amount of excitement that the game drew throughout. Oklahoma nearly pulled off a 21-point comeback win in the fourth quarter behind star quarterback Kyler Murray.
