During the tenures of Bob Stoops at Oklahoma and Mack Brown at Texas the following has occurred:

Stoops vs. Texas: 8-5. Brown vs. OU: 6-8. (One of Brown’s wins was as first year head coach at Texas over John Blake in his last year as head coach of OU).

Stoops’ three largest victories in point differential over Texas: 65-13, 63-14 and 55-17. (Plus Stoops has a 12-0 shutout). Mack’s three largest 45-12, 34-3, 28-10. (Again the 34-3 victory was over Blake).

Big XII titles for Stoops: 7. Big XII titles for Brown: 2. National Title game appearances: Stoops 4, Brown 2.

Heisman Trophy winners: Stoops 2, Brown 1 (And that one Heisman winner, Senior Ricky Williams, was in Brown’s first year as head coach, thus he did not recruit him).

Are we beginning to see a pattern here?
