The top ranked Sooners are stacked on both sides of the ball and while they are big favorites against a legit Tulsa team that won 10 games last season, was victorious in the Hawaii Bowl, and finished the season ranked in the top 25 for the first time since 1991.
Texas is coming off a disastrous season where they went 5-7 and did not play in a bowl game for the first time since…forever and face a Rice team that was 4-8, but has hope returning most of their starters and will use a new spread offense that may give the Longhorns’ defense nightmares.
