The Oklahoma Sooners face the Texas Longhorns in the Red River Showdown at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, Oct. 14, and here is all the info you need to watch.
Like a fine wine, the Red River Showdown only gets better with each passing year. There are few rivalries — if any — in college football that parallel the vitriol and fire between the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns. No matter the quality of program, these games are always tight and wild. And on Saturday in Week 7, their 2017 meeting will take place from the Cotton Bowl.
Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma are coming off of a demoralizing loss at the hands of Iowa State. They were primed for a College Football Playoff spot, but their defense let them down tremendously. Now they are faced with a fight to get back into that position, and that fight begins with toppling the Longhorns in Lincoln Riley’s first Red River Showdown as head coach.
It’s also the first matchup of its kind for Tom Herman. His tenure with Texas didn’t start out great at all, but he’s righted the ship quickly. Now at 3-2, the Longhorns have found a stud in quarterback Sam Ehlinger. This offense is humming with a variety of weapons, but is still somehow less impressive than the defense. There’s no question that they’ll give the Sooners all that they can handle.
