Episode Details

Red River rivals Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns gear up for a high-stakes 2026 season, each aiming to reclaim dominance in the SEC. Will Texas’ new defensive coordinator Will Muschamp spark a resurgence, or will Brent Venables’ tenacious Oklahoma defense hold firm? The countdown to another unforgettable clash at the Cotton Bowl is on.

Jay Smith and Brad Kellner break down key offseason moves, including Texas’ revamped offensive line, Arch Manning’s bolstered arsenal with Cam Coleman and Raleek Brown, and Oklahoma’s continuity with QB John Mateer and difference-makers like Courtland Guillory and Daniel Okoye. The conversation tackles running game woes, the evolving portal landscape, and burning questions on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Are the Sooners or Longhorns poised for a playoff run, or does the SEC gauntlet await with more surprises?
