The Texas Longhorns will look to bounce back after suffering a home loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers last week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Texas is set to meet Oklahoma for the 107th installment of the Red River Rivalry, as it looks to bounce back from a 48-45 setback to the West Virginia Mountaineers as 7.5-point home favorites.\u00a0 The Longhorns also enter this particular contest with double revenge in this series, including a 55-17 loss as 11-point underdogs last year.\u00a0 \u201cI think in my estimation we could see a conference champion with one or maybe two losses this year,\u201d stated Longhorns head coach Mack Brown.\u00a0 Texas is 6-10 ATS when playing a team with a winning record the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns hold a 59-42-5 series lead against the Sooners, including wins in four of the last seven meetings.\u00a0 Texas is the only Big 12 Conference team that holds a winning record against Oklahoma.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to note that the program is 5-16-2 when it\u2019s the lower-rated team when the two teams meet.\u00a0 Quarterback David Ash has been the focal point offensively for a unit that ranks sixth nationally in averaging 46.8 points per game.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma has tallied an 8-5 record in this game under the direction of head coach Bob Stoops, as it looks to build on last week\u2019s 41-20 win as four-point road favorites over the Texas Tech Red Raiders.\u00a0 For the first time since 2007, and the second time since 1997, both teams already have a conference loss.\u00a0 \u201cIt doesn\u2019t have any different feel,\u201d stated Sooners head coach Bob Stoops.\u00a0 In the 13 games with Stoops on the sideline, the program has outscored Texas by an average margin of 36.3 to 23.7 points per game.\u00a0 Oklahoma is 4-1 ATS as a neutral-site favorite the last two-plus years.<\/p>\n

The Sooners have a capable quarterback of their own, as Landry Jones has compiled a 32-9 record as a starter, as he looks to set the school record for wins with a victory in this high-profile affair.\u00a0 Oklahoma has shown extreme balance in the early going this year, ranking 36th nationally in rushing yards and 37th in passing yards.\u00a0 On the other side of the football, the defensive unit tallied three interceptions last week after having just one entering the game.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Longhorns due to their 10-5 ATS mark off an upset loss as a favorite, while the Sooners are just 10-10 ATS against conference opponents.<\/p>\n
