Sooners Silenced, Longhorns Lassoed

Next week, as everyone knows, is the big Red River Shootout Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas. When the day started it was looking like the Cotton Bowl was going to host two unbeaten teams, but now OU and UT will be battling to keep from suffering two losses.

Maybe the #3 Sooners were looking past Colorado today because they failed to hang on to 24-7 lead in the third quarter, allowing the Buffs to come roaring back with two touchdowns in the final quarter. With time running out Kevin Eberhart booted a 45-yard field goal for the upset.

But where OU may have been looking past their opponent, Texas certainly knew what they were up against playing Kansas State, having lost to the Wildcats on the road last year. Unfortunately Colt McCoy threw four interceptions that turned into 20 K-State points and the ‘Cats rolled to a 41-21 win in Austin. There will be plenty of long faces on 6th Street tonight.
