The biggest game of the season so far features a matchup in Dallas. #1 Oklahoma vs. #5 Texas at the Cotton Bowl in the legendary Red River Rivalry. The game and the scene should be awesome, with the traditions, the updated facilities upping the capacity from 76,000 to about 92,000+, and the Texas State Fair as the backdrop. This is not to mention ESPN College Game Day will be there pre-game.
And with any big Sooner game comes the big MEAT LIFE prediction. And I'll break it down by quarter:
End of the 1st quarter: OU up 21-7. The Sooners start fast as usual, taking their first three possessions. Murray finally breaks a big-one. The Longhorns capitalize on a long return to get deep into OU territory to set up a Colt McCoy running TD.
End of the half: OU 28-17. Longhorns finally get things going offensively but are stumped in the red zone later in the quarter. OU's offense sputters a bit but gets into the end zone on the last drive of the half.
End of the 3rd quarter: OU 31-17. The defenses lock down after the Sooners kick a field goal on their first drive.
Final: OU 34-27. Texas mounts their comeback on a couple early quarter drives. The Longhorns drive to the red zone and in epic fashion the Sooners D got an INT. OU offense seals the deal with a field goal drive late.
My prediction is dependent on OU kicker Stevens to be able to make in 2 field goals to make a difference, something he has only done once before this season. But if Stoopsie has confidence, there must be something there.
On that note BOOMER SOONER
