COMMENTS
The upcoming Red River Showdown between Texas and Oklahoma on October 12, 2024, is one of the most anticipated games of the season. Texas, ranked No. 1 with a perfect 5-0 record, is heavily favored, with a 14.5-point spread. The Longhorns have been dominant, averaging 45 points per game while allowing only 7. Their defense is a top contender, and Quinn Ewers or Arch Manning at quarterback gives them a versatile offensive edge.
Oklahoma, ranked No. 18 at 4-1, has shown resilience but will need a stellar performance from QB Michael Hawkins to challenge Texas’ dominance. Texas is expected to win comfortably, as Oklahoma’s offense has struggled to match Texas’ firepower in recent games.
