SATURDAY MORNING. YOU ARE UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LATEST FIRST ALERT FORECAST. ♪ BRYAN: WELCOME INTO THE SHOW TONIGHT. I AM BRYAN KEATING HE IS CARSON CUNNINGHAM. BEST TIME OF THE WEEK. ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GET TO THIS WEEK. ARE YOU FIRED UP? >> ARE YOU FIRED UP FOR THE FAIR AND THE CORNDOGS? BRYAN: A LOT OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL THE TALK ABOUT. AND THE THUNDER HAD A SCRIMMAGE. WE START WITH OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS. SOONERS UNDEFEATED. THE MOST TYPE IN A LONG TIME FOR THE OU-TEXAS GAME. >> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT BOTH TEAMS ARE RANKED IN THE TOP 15. TEXAS HAS NOT HELD UP THERE AND -- THEIR END. SINCE 2012, OU HAS NOT PLAYED WELL AND THIS GAME. THEY ARE 3-3 SINCE 2012. THIS RIVALRY IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE WHEN YOU THROW OUT THE RECORDS, HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN 2014? I LOVE THAT THIS RIVALRY IS BACK TO A NATIONAL PERCEPTION. IT HAS NATIONAL TITLE IMPLICATIONS FOR BOTH TEAMS. NOT JUST OKLAHOMA. BRYAN: FOR BOTH TEAMS FOR SURE. YOU BROUGHT UP 2012 BUT I THINK IT IS THE BIGGEST GAME SINCE 2008. IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2008 THAT BOTH TEAMS ARE RANKED IN THE TOP 10 OR THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. BUT, THIS IS EASILY THE BEST OU-TEXAS QUARTERBACK GAME SINCE THEN. QUARTERBACKS GOING HEAD2HEAD. AND I THINK THE BEST QUARTERBACK GAME ALL YEAR IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL WHERE YOU HAVE JALEN HURTS VERSUS SAM ELLIOTT ARE. -- SAM ELLINGER. I GUESS YOU COULD MAKE AN ARGUMENT FOR LSU-ALABAMA IN TERMS OF QUARTERBACKS. OU FANS ARE FIRED UP. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, TEXAS -- I DON’T KNOW IF THEY ARE BACK, BUT IF THEY CAN BE OKLAHOMA, YOU CAN START TO SAY -- WE ARE BACK. I DON’T KNOW IF THAT IS NECESSARILY TRUE BUT IF THEY BEAT OKLAHOMA, YOU MIGHT THINK TEXAS IS BACK. CARSON: THEY ARE DEFINITELY BACK TO RELEVANCE. THEY HAVE EARNED MY RESPECT. BRYAN: THROW UP THE ODDS. THE ODDSMAKERS HAVE MADE OKLAHOMA A 10 POINT FAVORITE. SATURDAY AT 11:00, THE COTTON BOWL. I WILL ASK YOU FIRST, WHO WILL WIN THE GAME? I WILL ASK YOU, BY HOW MANY? AND THEN WE WILL GET TO THE VEGAS LINE WHICH IS 10. CARSON: I’M PICKING OU IN THIS GAME BECAUSE THEY ARE A BETTER TEAM. THE QUARTERBACK MATCHUP IS ALWAYS INTERESTING BECAUSE USUALLY THE MORE EXPERIENCED PLAYER WILL WIN THE GAME. AS JALEN HURTS SAID, I PLAYED IN THE IRON BOWL. THIS IS NOT AN INTIMIDATING GAME FOR HIM. HE WILL BE READY. AND LOOK, I TAKE NOTHING AWAY FROM TEXAS. I THINK IT WILL BE A FANTASTIC GAME. SAM HAS IMPROVED LIGHT YEARS IN HIS PASSING GAME. I THINK IT WILL BE A SHOOTOUT AND I THINK 48-42, OKLAHOMA. TEXAS’ PASS DEFENSE IS NOT GOOD. DO I THINK THE OU DEFENSE IS AS GOOD AS THEY HAVE SHOWN SO FAR? PROBABLY NOT THOUGH I THINK THEY ARE IMPROVED ON THIRD DOWN AND TURNOVERS. BRYA SAM DOES NOT TURN IT OVER. I AM GOING TO GO OKLAHOMA, 45-41. I THINK SHOOTOUT GOING ON IN DALLAS FOR SURE AND THAT MEANS I WOULD GET THE POINTS AND I WOULD TAKE THE TEXAS SIDE OF THE VEGAS LINE. CARSON: 10 POINTS IS A LOT. BRYAN: THE LAST FIVE PLAYED AT THE COTTON BOWL HAVE BEEN WON BY FIVE OR LESS. AND OU HAS NOT PLAYED WELL AT THE KABUL SINCE 2012. BUT I DO PICK OKLAHOMA. I PICKED THEM TO BE UNDEFEATED THIS SEASON AND I THINK THEY ARE ON PACE TO DO IT. IT IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF TEST FOR THEIR DEFENSE. CARSON: I THINK TEXAS SINCE 2012 HAS BEEN OVERRATED COMING IN AND HAS HAD SEVERAL LOSSES BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE THIS YEAR. BRYAN: LET US TALK ABOUT OKLAHOMA STATE. THEY LOSE TO TEXAS TECH. 45-35. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE COWBOYS? CARSON I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START. LET US START WITH GOING DOWN 20-0. THEY ARE ONE OF THE WORST IN THE BIG 12. LOOK, THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM GOING ON WITH MIKE GUNDY’S FOOTBALL PROGRAM. HOW ABOUT THIS AS A FAVORITE -- 81-12 IN HIS FIRST 12 YEARS AS A FAVORITE. 81-1 SINCE 2017, HE IS 17-10. HE IS NOT PLAYING WELL AS A FAVORITE. WE JUST SPOKE ABOUT TEXAS. WHAT DID EVERYONE SAY ABOUT MACK BROWN? COMFORTABLE IN HIS OWN WAYS. A COUNTRY CLUB. NOT HAVING THE SAME KIND OF FIRE AS HE HAD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. I DON’T KNOW IF THAT IS THE CASE WITH MIKE GUNDY. HE USED TO BE TEXAS TECH WHEN THEY HAD MIKE LEACH. NOW HE IS LISTENING TO JET DUFFY AND GETTING BLOWN OUT IN STILLWATER. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO IS RUNNING THE OFFENSE? WHEN HE WAS THE OC IN 2009, THEY HIRED DANA HOLGORSEN. I AM NOT SAYING THERE SHOULD BE ANY WHOLESALE CHANGES BUT THERE MAY BE A WAKE-UP CALL. THIS OFFENSE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WHAT SEAN GLEESON WAS BROUGHT INTO. TO MAKE HIM IT LOOKS LIKE A STALE OFFENSE. THEY HAVE NOT PUT THAT PLAYER IN A GOOD POSITION. I JUST WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON. BRYAN: THE LAST THREE YEARS IN THE BIG 12, MIKE GUNDY’S PROGRAM IS 10 AND 11. FOR THE LAST DECADE, RIGHT BEHIND OKLAHOMA WAS OKLAHOMA STATE AND BAYLOR HAD A SHORT STINT AS DID TCU. OKLAHOMA STATE OVER THE LAST DECADE WAS EASILY THE COND BEST PROGRAM IN THE CONFERENCE. IT IS NOT ANYMORE. POP UP THE GRAPHIC. HERE IS A THING THAT IS CONCERNING FOR OSU. THEY DON’T COME READY TO PLAY AND THEY WERE NOT READY AGAINST TEXAS TECH ON SATURDAY. THEY DID NOT SHOW UP READY TO GO. THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AGAINST UNRANKED TEAMS IN THE SPF. THEY ARE 4-6. THEY SHOW UP TO PLAY OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS BECAUSE THEY ARE 5-2. THEY CAN BE GOOD TEAMS AND LOSE TO ANYBODY. WHY IS THAT? I’M NOT SURE. IT SEEMS THE PROGRAM IS GOING IN THIS DIRECTION. THEY HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO TURN IT AROUND. CARSON: AND AGAIN, THEY ARE BEATING TEAMS WITH THEIR OFFENSE AND NOW THE OFFENSE LOOKS LIKE IT HAS NO IDENTITY WHATSOEVER. THEY HAVE A NEW OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. BRYAN: YOU CANNOT TURN IT OVER FIVE TIMES. WE UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT THE PROGRAM IS VERY STAGNANT. IN THE LAST YEAR UNDER MASON RUDOLPH WE WOULD HAVE CALLED A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. LAST SEASON THEY WENT 6-6. WHERE ARE THEY HEADED NOW? 4-2
