Red River Rivalry - page 3

We watched this crazy game and we’re still not sure we believe it – Oklahoma 53, Texas 45 (4OT)

No chapter in the history books will adequately describe the pandemic year of 2020.

Likewise, no story will adequately describe the 2020 Red River Rivalry game between the Oklahoma and the Texas college football teams.

Both Texas and Oklahoma are looking for a much needed win in the Red River Rivalry today. Our prognosticators favor the Sooners (not surprisingly) in a 9-1 vote.

Other good matchups this Saturday are:  Miami at Clemson (the Tigers favored 8-2); Texas Tech at Iowa State (Cyclones favored 6-4); and Pittsburgh at Boston College (Pitt favored 7-3).

Boomer!

The year to forget — the COVID 19 year.
 
There is a football season this year?
 
About 20,000 fans will be in the Cotton Bowl for kickoff on Saturday at 11 a.m.
