A short preview (or review) of your OU Sooners, OSU Cowboys, TU Golden Hurricane and Arkansas Razorback football weekend.
Oklahoma State Cowboys (4-0) v. Texas A&M Aggies (3-1) 38-35
It was a touchdown fest last night at T. Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, and all under the watchful eyes of ESPN cameras and thousands of Orange clad faithful. After going down by two touchdowns, the Cowboys were able to dig themselves out of a hole to go up 35-21 after a costly A&M fumble and a 63-yd. fumble return for a touchdown by OSU's James Thomas. In the fourth quarter the Aggies' Jerrod Johnson was able to orchestrate two breakneck drives to tie the game at 35-35 to send it into overtime. Johnson threw 4 interceptions in the game, his final in the last 16-seconds, setting up Dan Bailey's 40-yd. field goal to win the game for the Pokes 38-35.
(8) Oklahoma Sooners (4-0) v. (21) Texas Longhorns (3-1) Saturday, 3:30 p.m. on ABC
OU and Texas will be squaring off for their 105th Red River Rivalry game this Saturday. OU is looking to come back after a close 16-13 loss last year that ended up claiming QB Sam Bradford for the duration of the season. Texas is hoping to come back from an embarrassing home loss to UCLA last Saturday, where the Longhorns fell 34-12 giving up 264 rushing yards. OU's Landry Jones and Texas' Garrett Gilbert are both starting their first Red River games (though Jones did play almost the entire game last year, he did not start). With OU having outstanding weapons in Junior WR Ryan Broyles and Senior RB DeMarco Murray, Texas can't afford to be lax in their secondary coverage or when battling in the trenches.
TU Golden Hurricane (2-2) v. Memphis Tigers (1-3)
TU goes into this game in Memphis' Liberty Bowl after a blowout win against Central Arkansas last Saturday. TU coach Todd Graham hopes that this will be the first of two times that the Golden Hurricane will play in the Liberty Bowl, which is the bowl destination for the Conference-USA champion. TU is also out to bounce back against an embarassing loss to OSU two weeks ago in Stillwater.
Arkansas Razorbacks (15) have a bye this week. Next week they face Texas A&M in Fayetteville.
