Probably not going to see a repeat of last year’s upset victory for the Longhorns this morning and afternoon.
The Texas defense is better but they just don’t have much of an offense. Almost none, in fact. So even the daily’s sportswriters don’t expect another upset of the 14– 17-point favorite Sooners.
We’ll probably do best hoping the Zeros don’t run away with it.
UPDATE: They didn’t, unless you count the pick six and the kick return that helped give them 31 to the Longhorns’ 26, which was all offense for a change.
So the Horns do better (winning the statistics, at least) but still lose, mainly because of too many penalties and other mistakes such as the third-game-in-a-row fumble at the goal line costing a touchdown. They have now won two cupcake games and lost four against ranked teams for a 2-4 season. And it seems likely to get worse with the six games remaining. Half are against ranked teams.
Bye-bye ranking. Bye-bye bowl game.
