Despite this being the 120th version of the Red River Rivalry, this is the first matchup between Texas and Oklahoma with both teams as members of the SEC. Texas enters the game with a 5-0 record as arguably the best team in the country,

Since injuring his abdomen against UTSA back on September 14, Longhorns star — and Heisman Trophy contender — Quinn Ewers has been on the sidelines while backup Arch Manning ran Texas’ offense against UL-Monroe and Mississippi State.

Rodgers calls Ewers the "best QB in the country" and mentions Manning did well but against lesser competition. The two starts for Manning came against Louisana-Monroe, a game in which he threw a pair of interceptions, and then against Mississippi State, both of which were at home.
