Sooners can avenge 2022 embarrassment and show they're national title contenders with a win over Longhorns on Saturday.
It's been a while since the game had stakes high enough for the entire country to have a vested interest, but nowhere near as long for OU or Texas fans who haven't won a national title since 2005 and 2000 .
However, this feels like a year when any top of the top teams in a Power 5 conference can win the national title, so why not OU or Texas?" is a good thing, as it gives OU a chance to prove itself a legitimate national title contender against a legitimate national title contender. OU's defense has been cosplaying as a vault door. No one has gotten in with regularity. OU's best scoring defense — 10.8 points per game allowed — is on pace to be its best since 1987 . are getting better odds to win the national title than Texas . And even with the loss, Alabama is getting the same national title odds as undefeated Oklahoma .
However, the Sooners will walk into the Cotton Bowl on Saturday not looking to prove that they're national title contenders but to simply avenge the worst loss either team has suffered in the 100-plus year history of the Red River Shootout.was out for that game last year. Never mind that OU was still reeling from the loss and addition of dozens of players through the transfer portal in Brent Venables' first year.
