“What happens on this field in this rivalry is remembered forever.”
On Saturday morning when these two storied programs share the field at the Cotton Bowl for their 118th meeting, the hope for the Texas Longhorns is what happens is remembered as the first Red River Showdown win of the Steve Sarkisian era.
Texas is favored with Oklahoma’s struggling and Quinn Ewers set to return, but of course, you toss rankings, records, and odds aside in this one.
Seven of the last eight meetings have been decided by a single score, but most of that fate has favored Oklahoma, the winners of four straight.
