Red River Rivalry going to be one for the ages
NCAA News

The Texas State Fair. The Cotton Bowl. #12 Oklahoma. #3 Texas. The Red River Rivalry.

It doesn't get any better than this.

One of the most highly-anticipated games of the year will kickoff this weekend in Dallas, Texas, the site of the historic Cotton Bowl. #12 Oklahoma will look to upset the 3rd-ranked Texas Longhorns in a heated rivalry game that could shift the balance in the early Big 12 conference schedule.

The Sooners come into the game 4-1, suffering their only loss to #22 Miami in Week 2, and hot off the heels of a 39-14 thrashing of Colorado in their Big 12 opener. Redshirt freshman QB Sam Bradford threw 5 TD passes against the hapless Buffalo defense, propelling Oklahoma to their 3rd straight win.

Texas, on the other hand, had a much tougher time getting their Big 12-opening win last week. The Longhorns fell behind 24-0 to Kansas State, before roaring back in the 2nd half to win 28-24. Texas and sophomore QB Colt McCoy can't do that again this week, as they will face a tough Oklahoma defense that has allowed only 11.7 points over the past three weeks. Texas will still be without injured WR Limas Sweed, but McCoy has plenty of options to use against the Sooners.

Texas won last year's matchup, but showed signs of concern last week in their near-disaster against Kansas State. Oklahoma comes into this game with a lot of momentum, and needs this win to stay in the Big 12 title race. This game will be one for the books, but in the end I see the Sooners grinding out the upset.

#3 Texas makes statement with rout of rival #12 Oklahoma
NCAA News

Texas's struggles last week at Kansas State were just a fluke. Oklahoma found out the hard way.

The 3rd-ranked Longhorns built a 31-7 halftime lead and rolled on to a 48-21 blowout of #12 Oklahoma in the annual Red River Rivalry game at the Cotton Bowl. Sophomore QB Colt McCoy threw for 322 yards and 5 TDs and the Texas defense picked off QB Sam Bradford 6 times to fuel the victory.

McCoy threw 3 of his TDs and RB Jamaal Charles added a 14-yard TD run to put Texas up big at the break. Bradford hit TE Jermaine Gresham for a 32-yard TD to account for the Sooners' only 1st-half points.

McCoy fired 2 more TDs in the 4th quarter to put the game out of reach. Oklahoma got TDs on an interception return and a 22-yard TD run by senior RB Allen Patrick to account for the final score.

McCoy threw for 322 yards and 5 TDs on 17-of-28 passing, but did give up a pick-six to marr an otherwise perfect day. Charles totaled 173 yards (79 rush) and scored 2 TDs. WR Quan Cosby (2 TDs), backup RB Vondrell McGee and WR Billy Pittman each caught a TD pass also.

Bradford struggled against the Longhorn defense, throwing 6 picks on the day. He finished 15-of-30 passing for 135 yards and a TD. Patrick led all rushers with 146 yards on 18 carries.

#22 Auburn, #5 Arkansas set to tangle over SEC West driver's seat
NCAA News

Another important SEC matchup is on tap this weekend, as #22 Auburn travels to take on #5 Arkansas with 1st-place in the SEC West on the line.

Auburn was featured in the Game of the Week a few weeks ago when they traveled to Florida, but they came home dejected after suffering a 38-24 setback. The Tigers are still deep in the SEC title hunt, but they have another tough road task just ahead.

Auburn will have to figure out how to stop the Razorbacks' delicious backfield tandem of Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. Jones is coming off an injury, but is expected to play a major role in the offense. McFadden, a Preseason Heisman candidate, has fallen off the national map a bit but responded well last week against FCS opponent Chattanooga. McFadden diced up the Mocs for 282 yards and 3 TDs, winning SEC Offensive Player of the Week honors in the process.

It will be a great battle, but it's hard to pick the winner. Arkansas has looked very impressive so far but really hasn't played anybody worthwhile. Auburn, on the other hand, looks battle-tested and could bring the fire right out of the gates. It will be a barnburner, but I think Arkansas' 1-2 punch at tailback helps bring home a win.

#5 Arkansas outlasts #22 Auburn to stay unbeaten thanks to missed FG in 3OT
NCAA News

Maybe we should change the phrase to "Wild, Wild South".

#5 Arkansas and #22 Auburn gave us quite a show this weekend, going into 3 OTs. In the end, it was the Razorbacks that pulled it out, thanks to a missed field goal in the final overtime period. Auburn kicker Zach Kutch shanked the game-tying attempt wide left and Arkansas stayed undefeated, while the Tigers drop to 4-3.

It was a wild back-and-forth battle that had an explosive beginning and an exciting finish. The game featured 6 ties and 7 lead changes, plus some every balanced offensive attacks.

Auburn jumped out to a 14-7 lead, but Arkansas answered back and led 21-14 after a crazy 1st quarter. Auburn RB Brad Lester caught and ran for a TD each, while Arkansas got 2 TD passes from QB Casey Dick and a 7-yard TD jolt by RB Felix Jones, who returned from injury this week.

Auburn settled down the tempo in the 2nd quarter and re-claimed the lead, holding a 24-21 advantage at the break. Lester scored on a 5-yard scamper and Kutch nailed a field goal in the period.

In the 3rd quarter, the lead changed twice. Dick threw his 3rd TD pass of the day to give Arkansas a 28-24 lead, but Lester answered with another 5-yard TD plunge to put the Tigers back up 31-28.

In an odd change of pace, the 4th quarter was actually very sluggish. The Razorbacks finally managed to tie the game with only 2:01 left on a 34-yard field goal.

In the 1st overtime, Felix Jones scored another TD on the ground but Auburn QB Brandon Cox answered back with his 2nd TD pass to send the game into another series. The teams traded field goals in the 2nd OT.

In the 3rd OT, Arkansas took the lead at 44-41 behind another field goal. Auburn couldn't get a game-winning TD, but still had a shot to tie the game again. Unfortunately, Kutch's attempt missed and Arkansas breathed a big sigh of relief.

Jones ran for a game-high 213 yards and 2 TDs on 33 carries, filling in for Darren McFadden, who left the game early with an injury. QB Dick threw for 209 yards and 3 TDs, but was picked off twice.

Lester was a major thorn for the Arkansas defense, totaling 190 yards from scrimmage (103 rush) and scored 4 TDs. QB Cox threw for 289 yards and 2 TDs on 23-of-41 passing.

This is Auburn's 2nd loss against a ranked SEC opponent this season.
