Sooners game-by-game early predictions for 2023

A 5-0 start is a real possibility heading into the Red River Showdown.

It may be cliche but toss the records aside for the Sooners’ yearly matchup with the Longhorns. Though there’s been a ton of turnover on Oklahoma’s roster, there are enough dudes that were present for the 49-0 beatdown that would like to wipe that from their collective memory banks.

This is one of the toughest games on the schedule every year, but it’s especially true this season. Texas not only improved on offense last season, but they were also much better on defense. The Longhorns will be one of the favorites in the Big 12 as the fall approaches.

This game is a coin flip, but at the moment, we’ll give the edge to Texas (for now).

Way-too-early prediction: Sooners lose 31-28

Record: 5-1
