The game means a lot to both the fandoms and nobody would want to end up on the losing side here. So who will come out on top this season?
The Red River Showdown one last time in Big 12
Both the Longhorns and the Sooners come into the big week 6 clash in some fine form. The arch-rivals have won all their five games coming into the crunch encounter. The last time they played, the Longhorns thrashed the Sooners. But it won't be that easy this time.
The Red River Showdown has happened 118 times already with Texas leading the head-to-head record (63-50-5). But since World War 2, the record is near-even 39-37 in favor of the Longhorns. The Sooners will want to narrow it down to one game.
So who will have the bragging rights for the final time in Big 12, before the rivalry shifts base to the SEC next year?
