The Oklahoma Sooners, now #12 in the country after the loss to Iowa State, have to find a way to "snap outta it", and play better this week, vs the Texas Longhorns in the 'Red River Showdown", from the Cotton Bowl, in Dallas, TX.   O.U. enters this game, as an 8 point favorite, but U.T. enters this game with the momentum, after a 2-0 Big XII, including an OT win, against Kansas State.   Tom Herman still hasnt announced a starting QB for the game, which will be either Shane Buechele, or Sam Ehlinger.   The Sooners will need to have better coverage from CB Jordan Thomas and company, as Bevo has tall, athletic receivers, including Collin Johnson.   Baker Mayfield and the Sooner offense must be able to handle LBs Malik Jefferson and Anthony Wheeler, as UT is unlikely to use the Iowa State philosophy of dropping back 8 in coverage.  Expect the "Horns to supply a lot of pressure on the OU QB.  RB Abdul Adams, WR CeeDee Lamb and S Steven Parker will likely be game time decisions, as this Sooner trio had injuries last week vs I.S.U.
