Big Questions Heading Into Big Game
Davis Beville didn’t exactly shine in relief of [Okalahoma's] talented quarterback. Texas has shown to be way more capable of winning with their backup quarterback to this point.

Ultimately, Oklahoma is going to play with their hair on fire defensively with uncertainty on the offensive side. The Sooners’ best chance to win involves aggressive defense that leads to a low scoring game. Card has improved against pressure but reacts a little slower than Ewers.
I would be curious to see what quarterback Texas prepares to face. Beville certainly struggled in relief against TCU, but facing a right-handed Beville may differ from defending against a left-handed Gabriel. How hard Texas players practice is another variable. Last week’s win could make it easy for Texas to start feeling comfortable. They will need the same urgency as last week.
Texas should be the more confident team considering how both teams performed last week. There’s a difference between confidence and arrogance, and the Longhorns need the former.
