Texas Football: Why the running game is key to winning Red River

It is upon us. The Red River Rivalry begins on Saturday morning for the Texas football program.

One of the most historic rivalries in all of college football is set to kick off this Saturday from the Cotton Bowl for the 115th time. Throughout history this game has been mean. These two teams do not like each other. Just look up into the crowd, a sea of burnt orange, a sea of crimson. On one end of the field it feels like the biggest home game you have ever played in, on the other, the most hostile road environment.
