The Red River Rivalry is one of the biggest games of the season between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners. The game is played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, a point about halfway between Austin and Norman and considered a neutral field. With a 4-0 record behind them, Texas' young starting line, led by both Case McCoy and David Ash, met the seasoned Sooner team with Landry Jones at its helm. Although the Longhorns have played a surprising season, the momentum was insufficient to stand up against Coach Stoops and the Sooners. Mistake after mistake plagued the team: fumbles at the line of scrimmage, predictable interceptions, and missed catches. Our offensive line's inability to convert possessions or stay on the field longer than a few minutes led to a haggard defensive line, the energy of which quickly dwindled over the course of each quarter. At the end of the day, Texas' record against OU (59-42-5) will withstand the 55-17 defeat. My pride, however, is less forgiving. Regardless: Hook 'em.
