The rather famous contest between the members of the University of Texas’s Longhorns and the University of Oklahoma’s Sooners or, more simply, the Red River Showdown or Red River arguably is scheduled to be held today again at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. When the two giants of Big 12 college football teams face each other, here’s how you can watch Texas Oklahoma online or through television today.
Television: The game will be nationally televised by ABC. Check your local TV listings.
Live Stream: The match can also be watched live on the ESPN website or through the app and requires TV provider login details. Streaming is also available on FuboTV (week free trial).
The Red River Rivalry is one of the best storied and bitter rivalries in all of sports today’s game at the Cotton Bowl marks the 117th time that the Longhorns and the Sooners have faced each other. After years of heated rivalry, constantly since 1900, the score has been mixed, though Texas has a slightly upper hand, with 62 wins, 49 losses, and 5 ties before the current game took place.
Last year Oklahoma came from behind in the second half to beat Texas 28–7 in the final minutes. No less than Spencer Rattler was benched mid-game for Caleb Williams who mobilized that Sooners’ offense and mounted a wild 55-48 upset. Rattler is no longer in Oklahoma having transferred to another school.
This season the two teams enter this match with the same 4-2 record and both to keep their Big 12 championship dreams alive. Quinn Ewers has become Texas’ QB after transferring back home to the Buckeyes of Ohio State University. At Oklahoma, new head coaching hire Brent Venables aims to keep the Sooners moving forward.
Whether you are in the Red Sox camp or the Sox camp, this fight is surely another nail-biter. The atmosphere of the standing full-capacity Cotton Bowl with half the fans dressed in orange and the other half in red is nostalgically emblematic. From the Game Day preview down the perennial Midway or the Halftime Show featuring each team’s fight songs to a post-match sing-along of each school’s fight songs, this rivalry captures and illustrates the true spirit of college football every October.
Today’s matrimony might boil down to which side – stocked with talents Bijan Robinson and others – will carry on its high-powered offense under Steve Sarkisian to outmatch an OU team that has showcased its high-octane offense from the Lincoln Riley days. Or will Venables, defensive Coordinator at Clemson for the last ten years, find a way to rattle Ewers and the Longhorns?
When these two college football bluebloods play against each other today, do not be fooled there will be many plot twists and turns from expecting bragging rights, recruiting control, and much, much more.
