But important or not, the Longhorns say the game is still a thrill. Texas and Oklahoma, both 3-1, play their annual game Saturday at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas before a sellout crowd of 75,587 and national CBS television audience. Oklahoma is a two-touchdown favorite against the unranked Longhorns. “What it’s lost is that Texas has not been in the na tional rankings, and that’s what makes it a game of na tional significance,” says Texas coach David McWil liams. “People see a number (ranking) by Oklahoma and they don’t see one by us and they say, ‘Well, what kind of game is that?’” In 1984, Texas was ranked No. 1 and tied Oklahoma 15-15. The Longhorns finished the season 7-4-1. Texas safety Paul Behrman of Norman, Okla., said, “We need to get back to the game like it’s been in the past, when the Texas-OU game decides who the na tional champion is. That’s what makes it great.” Senior defensive end Bobby Duncum said, how ever, the thrill remains. “It’s a constantllil Waiting is the worst part.” “When you approach it as ordinary, it means; you have a screw loose somewhere and, tw,ii ! being fun anymore,” said junior defensivelatkkl ow Hackemack. Behrman said the Longhorns have a new a this year. “In the past years, we’ve been soil®; | emotional early in the week. We played ttfi? Monday and Tuesday instead of Saturday." Texas seniors have never beaten Oklahoma,a| nior center Alan Champagne said, “Thisistij shot the seniors have to prove we’re worths^ game.” Stell gets chance to start at halfback for OU NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Damon Stell has followed the long and winding road to his goal as starting at halfback for Oklahoma, but he says the only differ ence is getting to do his job a little earlier in the game. “Starting means coming out early and doing what you have to do,” Stell said as the lOth-ranked Sooners prepared for Saturday’s game against Texas in Dallas. “It’s part of a challenge, starting week to week. It motivates you.” Like other Sooner halfbacks before him, Stell has had to patiently wait his turn to crack the starting lineup at Okla homa. And it doesn’t help that Stell is probably the slowest of the Sooners’ corp of halfbacks. But he makes up for it by doing what all Oklahoma backs have to do — block. “Everybody gets a chance to play so you don’t have anybody stand out.” Stell said. “Looking back over the gtllllCd, UiClC iiUMi l isSiiLiy dominant.” Anthony Stafford has the most yards rushing — 86 — in a game this year. And Stell, who starts in the backfield with Stafford, said he’s probably the best of the Sooner backs. “When we put players out on the field, Anthony Stafford is one of the best running backs in the country,” he said. “I think that if we went to one player, like Anthony, he’d be a great player, be cause he’d get the yardage.” But Stell said his time is con “Sometimes we call two pi huddle, and the play can go any 1 he sdid. “It’s the luck of the d®! think the law of averages \ way.” Stell said Saturday’s j Texas would be a perfect time of averages to favor him.
