Oklahoma at Texas

11:00 Fox

IMO One of the top rivalry games in CFB.

OU is undefeated and still sucks. 

Only reason Texas doesn't float off in the GOM.

Question and I am being serious and not asking with ulterior motive. Why does Fox have this game at 11am? Is there some financial, logistical or very good reason for the early kickoff?

Would think this game garnered 2:30 status or has it always been an 11am kick?

It’s almost always an 11 o’clock kick.  I guess it’s become a tradition.   Not sure why.   They do the same thing with Army-Navy and it’s usually the only game on that Saturday.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the State Fair. Been this way as long as I can recall.....

I thought CBS had Army/Navy?

They do.  But always an early game.

I guess I just don't understand the logic behind Fox putting this game first on a Saturday schedule. To me a 2:30-3pm start would be better.

Agreed.  Like I said, it’s been tradition.  Even when both were top 5.  Outanup may be right with it having to do with the fair as well.

I hope Collin Johnson, Whittington, Sterns, Green, and a couple other db’s are healthy. We are thin at db. I like Ehlinger in games like this!

As long as I can remember, because of the state fair and fans interactions with each other. 

Used to be lots of fights. Always that way with rivals.

From my understanding, it's because the 11am game is considered a national game, while the 230 games are considered regional. There are a lot more games on the slate at 230 so it is plausible.

Confirmed reason is OU fans past issues with OD’ing on corny dogs prior to game...

OD'ing from the rear.

[PhatMack19]

That’s a fumble.  Big break for Texas 

[PhatMack19]

Good start

 

 

[PhatMack19]

Int in the end zone.  2nd turnover this game inside the 10 yard like.  The score could be way worse 

[TXHORN_ET]

Bigger break right there on int by Jones..

hurt doesn’t look great under pressure. Other than that, he’s pretty darn good.

[TXHORN_ET]

Not a big fan of that horizontal game plan.

OU has a ton of speed on defense.  You have to run right at them. 

[PhatMack19]

OU’s defense looks to be greatly improved

They’re looking great today that’s for sure. I know texas needs to stretch the field, but I’d sure like to see some short routes and receptions turn into big plays, or at least to keep the chains moving.

[PhatMack19]

4 trips inside the 10 yard line for OU and only 10 points.  That could come back to bite them.
