Texas, OU set for
Red River Shootout
DALLAS (AP) — To many
Octoberfolks on both sides of the Red
River, the second weekend of
October is reserved for the Texas-
Oklahoma game, and the renewal
of a rivalry filled with color,
pageantry and history.
In recent years, though, the
Longhorns and Sooners have
been playing for more than just
interstate bragging rights. Now
the entire nation is watching.
When the No. 2 Sooners and
No. 3 Longhorns play Saturday, it
will be the second time in a row
both are ranked in the top five, a
feat that's unprecedented in the
rivalry’s long history.
“I’m proud that the game
means what it means nationally
now,” said Texas coach Mack
Brown. “It is like a bowl game
at midseason.”
Texas and Oklahoma have met
in Dallas every October since
1929, rather than Austin or
Norman. Each time, they’ve
played inside the Cotton Bowl
with the State Fair of Texas going
on outside the stadium.
The neutral site is less than a
four-hour drive from both cam
puses, drawing plenty of fans
"from both sides.
“That setting is so intense that
nobody wanders into the stadium
by accident,” said Fred Akers,
Texas’coach for 10 years and an
assistant for nine more. “You
know there’s going to be some
thing significant taking place.”
Seeing the dichotomy of col
ors while walking out the end-
zone tunnel is something few
ever forget. The late Bud
Wilkinson. who coached
Oklahoma against Texas 17
times, used to say the crimson
and orange in the stands was what
he thought of first.
The rivalry intensified in 1996
when the schools became part of
the Big 12, both in the South
division. Only one team can
come out of the division to play
for the league title, and the BCS
berth that goes with it. Winning

general out there.” Taylor said. “In overtime he showed no fear, I saw
no fear in his eyes. We were moving the chains and we were scoring.”
Last year’s matchup between the two schools was closer than
many expected and is a game that many Aggies would just as
soon forget, despite the fact A&M came away with the victory.
I don’t remember too much about that day,” Taylor said. “1
don t want to remember too much about that game.”
Baylor does remember, and is looking to build upon the suc-
ce ss it had last year at Kyle Field.
There’s things we’ll draw from going to College Station (last
year) and playing well ” Steele said. “But they are very minute,
his is a different team, a different city, a different game.”
The Aggies do have history on their side. A&M has not lost to
aylor since 1985, going 16 straight games without falling to
the Bears.
We ve got to worry about Saturday and not so much about the
past ' Steele said. “But we will bring (the streak) up.”
this game doesn’t guarantee win
ning the South, but it sure makes
it easier.
Oklahoma was rolling when it
came to Dallas last October
ranked third. The Longhorns
were fifth.
The Sooners led the whole
game, but never comfortably.
Then, with 2:01 left, safety Roy
Williams made a Superman-style
leap over a blocker and into
Longhorns quarterback Chris
Simms, torcing an interception
that was returned for the clinch
ing touchdown in a 14-3 win. •
Although Simms has lost
both games he’s played against
Oklahoma, he loves everything
about the border battle.
"When I go home and people
ask me about Texas football, this
is the game I always tell them
about,” he said. “If they want to
come to a game, that’s the one.”
No. 1 Miami plays No. 9
Florida State in an early game
Saturday. It should finish about
the time the Red River Shootout
gets going in Dallas.
Considering the rankings the
Sooners and Longhorns have car
ried into the last two meetings and
this one, it’s easy to say the rival
ry is enjoying its biggest heyday
since its greatest era, 1974-79.
Since the AP poll began in
1936, there have been seven
Texas-OU games with both
ranked in the top five; this year
makes eight. Three came between
1974 and ’79.
Those games also featured
two Heisman Trophy winners
(Texas’ Earl Campbell in '77 and
Oklahoma’s Billy Simms the next
year), 38 All-America selections
and two College Football Hall of
Fame coaches — OU’s Barry
Switzer and Darrell Royal, the
Texas coach through 1976.
The current generation isn’t
quite at that level. Yet.
“I think this game will be this
way from now on,” Brown said.
“It’s two programs that should be
this good each year.”
