OU - Texas Preview

So you're wondering how the Texas Longhorns match up to the Sooners?

Offense

Colt McCoy appears to be suffering through a sophomore slump. One poor offensive showing will not derail the Sooner Schooner.

Defense

The Longhorn defense has not been impenetrable against the forces represented by the Austin PD. They've also struggled against KSU, Arkanas St and Central Florida.

Special Teams

OU is better in the return game. Hartley has yanked a couple of kicks, though. He needs to work on that before I go all 'Mike Gundy' on him.

Stadium Name
Tie

Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium vs Owen Field at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium. Can't we simplify these things, people.

Coaching

Coach Stoops vs Mack Brown. Mack Brown w/o VY does not do well against the Sooners.

Cool Alumni

Can't the Longhorns find some alumnus other than Matthew McConaughey to roll out there? Is Rip Torn still alive? Peri Gilpin (Roz from Fraser), Renee Zellweger would also be a step up. If Tom Hicks hadn't wrecked the Rangers, I might give them the nod.

Pinup Alumni

Sooners have no match for this.Hopefully it shouldn't matter on Saturday.
