The Big 12 is one tough conference in 2022 and the Oklahoma Sooners, with two losses in play right now, have to depend upon a defense that must play big in the Cotton Bowl this Saturday in their “rooster” 11 am start.\u00a0 Without quarterback Dillion Gabriel as of a concussion, OU’s chance to win is going to be dependent upon keeping the score respectable.\u00a0 Texas, in fact, has more to lose than OU in this game, and another loss would not do Coach Steve Sarkisian any favors in keeping his job.\u00a0 I have the Horns 48 and the Sooners 24.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n
