Texas game a good salve for our Frog-inflicted wounds

The OU guy who scheduled TCU the week before the Red River Rivalry was a genius.
After all, if TCU were to upset Oklahoma — which they did on Saturday — there probably was going to be no better a salve for those wounds than beating Texas in the Cotton Bowl the following week.
Sure, you may be thinking that an Oklahoma win this week over Texas is not a foregone conclusion. Well, it never is. Weird things happen in the Red River Rivalry. Sometimes the best team doesn’t win. See last year, for example.
Yet, I am quite sure the Sooners will beat Texas on Saturday. It will be easier to maneuver the concession lines at Fair Park than for Texas — which is 104th nationally in passing and 92nd in rushing — to move the ball gainst Oklahoma.
But, what is perhaps more troubling than thinking of the long lines for corn dogs at Fair Park, is the prospect that Oklahoma’s team is still good enough to get into the college football playoffs this year — and with further Top 10 losses expected that is very much a possibility –but the coaching may not be good enough.
