Oklahoma’s road back after Texas loss starts at Kansas State

#4 Michigan State (6-0) 31 Rutgers (2-3) 24: Chris Laviano, the Rutgers quarterback, for a few reason spiked the ball on fourth down as the Scarlet Knights were charging down the field, and helped the Spartans get away with another ugly win. Freshman running back Chris Warren (ankle) hasn’t played since the Cal game because of an ankle injury, while freshman linebacker Breckyn Hager is still working his way back from a high ankle sprain he suffered against the Horned Frogs. Sports don’t give us moments sweeter than that. “You have to play with a tenacity and a mentality that’s unmatched”.

“It’s a college game and you can’t -I’m not gotta sit here and call out (players)”.

Six games in six weeks against five top-25 opponents was quite a gauntlet for the Texas Longhorns, and the team heads into its bye week before playing the Kansas State Wildcats trying to get healthy. I have a feeling the teams that caught them early in the year are going to be lucky they did because it looks like this team might have things figured out. So I think that’s young people. Texas is a school full of politics, with a little football mixed in, while Strong is zero politics and 100 percent football. We went through two years ago, the Texas game….

Stoops said players have to execute the game plan, and OU didn’t do that against Texas. But for at least one more game Howard deserves that chance to redeem himself.

This coming Saturday’s matchup in Ann Arbor between undefeated Michigan State and Michigan is not to be missed.

The Sooners got beat in a game this past weekend that no one thought they would lose.

But, the Vols made enough mistakes to allow the Bulldogs to jump on top 24-3.

The signature play? It was the ideal (imagine that) pass Lambert threw to a streaking receiver, Reggie Davis, with 3:52 left that could have tied the score at 38. The game will be broadcast on FS1. I love those guys. So I didn’t feel that (OU was flat). His compassion about the Chubb injury was touching, too. This league is really starting to shape into a good solid group of teams.

The yearly college football meeting between the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners, known as the Red River Showdown or Red River Rivalry, is more than a century old and has taken place in Dallas since 1929, per the Dallas Morning News.

I also wrote this: “TCU is a pretender”. Not worse than Kansas but worse than every other team in the league. Even more surprising, they’ve been among the best players on the field. Or they wilt under the pressure at Alabama.

That melee was the world players waded into when they logged on to their social media accounts after the game. I felt like we came into the game knowing we needed to play well.

Time was, a performance like we saw Saturday in the Cotton Bowl would’ve lit the fires of outrage.

Charlie Strong's Texas Longhorns pulled off the upset of then-No. 10 Oklahoma on Saturday
