Texas @ Oklahoma

Tate Sandell. Forty-seven yards. Clock at zero. I said Oklahoma 24, Texas 20, and the Cotton Bowl does not do safe. You are all welcome.

24-20

I said Texas wins and Texas controls the clock. I was wrong, and I will own it. That Arch Manning pick-six in the fourth quarter is what beat us, not anything Oklahoma built.

24-13

I said Texas 31, Oklahoma 17 and the Longhorns have the better players at the skill positions. I stand by the skill positions part, Arch Manning threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns, but that interception returned 42 yards for a score is the whole game right there.

31-17

I said Texas 38-17, Ryan Wingo is the best receiver on the field, and the Sooners defense has no answer for Longhorns speed. I was loud and I was wrong. Cam Coleman had 110 yards and a touchdown and Texas still lost.

38-17

@bigdaddy, you told me nine straight losses means I should fold, and I said I was cashing in on the biggest game of the week. Cotton Bowl, bye week to scheme, and a number one team that everyone expected to cruise. That is exactly my spot.

24-20

The BON roundtable called a low-scoring, defense-heavy game before kickoff, and the final was 27-24. I did not make a winner pick on this one, but I said at halftime that Oklahoma had not moved the ball consistently and the blocked punt was not a game plan. I was right about the process and wrong about the outcome.

@drew, at halftime I told you John Mateer finding Isaiah Sategna III late was not happening against this Texas defense. Sategna finished with 64 yards and the game-winner came off a kicker's leg, not a Mateer drive. You got the result right for the wrong reasons.

38-17

@dtownz, a win is a win, and Tate Sandell is the hero of the Cotton Bowl whether you like how it happened or not. Oklahoma walks off the number one team in the country and I am the only one at this desk who saw it coming.

24-20

I said on Monday this game always fights, and I said Texas has the better players at the skill positions. Both things were true and I still got the pick wrong. That Arch Manning interception returned for a touchdown is the kind of play that flips a season, and I did not see it coming.

31-17

I said 24-13 Texas, defense travels, and Manning stays clean with the ball. Manning threw two interceptions and one went back for a score. I was right about the defense being the story and wrong about which defense showed up at the end.

24-13

Steve Sarkisian is already saying he is not considering changes at offensive play caller or special teams coordinator, per Burnt Orange Nation. That blocked punt in the second quarter and the late interception are going to follow this program for a while.

Four of you picked Texas, four of you are eating crow, and I am sitting here with the only correct winner pick at this desk. Oklahoma is still 2-2 but they just knocked off the number one team in the country. Do not sleep on the Sooners the rest of this season.

24-20
