Texas vs Oklahoma live stream: Watch Longhorns vs Sooners online
Here’s how you can watch Saturday afternoon’s Texas vs Oklahoma game from Dallas online.
Oklahoma was one of just a handful of favorites to win the national title heading into the 2016 season, but that excitement has since worn off. The once high hopes have come back down to earth after a 2-2 start, but this team has too much talent to finish the season with an average record.
Baker Mayfield is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation and he’s still producing despite the Sooners’ pedestrian record. He has passed for 1,067 yards and nine touchdowns with a 68 percent completion rate. Not having Sterling Shepard to throw to has been tough on him, though.
Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon are a deadly duo in the backfield for the Sooners. The latter has 340 yards and two touchdowns on 7.7 yards per carry while Perine has accounted for 247 yards and four scores.
The Red River Rivalry is always a close game, even if the Texas Longhorns are struggling as a team. After beating No. 10 Notre Dame to start the season — which is now looking like nothing more than an average win — Texas has fallen a couple of times, dropping out of the AP Top 25.
Rumor has it that Charlie Strong might be on his way out if the Longhorns can’t finish 8-4 this year, and that makes this game even more crucial.
Look for Shane Buechele to have a big game for the Longhorns as the freshman quarterback has been impressive through his first four games. He has passed for 959 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s the future in Austin.
