Yahoo - Looking ahead to college football: Week 7

[Jenni Carlson]

The college football offseason is long and arduous, but its end is almost in sight. We’re going to take a look at five games you have to look forward to for every weekend of the season. (This is also a handy guide to decide how to RSVP for any autumn weddings.) All times are Eastern and all games are played on Saturday unless otherwise noted. This is a really fun week. These games are played the weekend of October 12 th . Oklahoma vs. Texas in Dallas (TBD) – The Red River Rivalry/Shootout has been just a little lopsided the last two years, with the Sooners winning by a staggering combined score of 118-38. The last time the Longhorns won this game was in 2009, using that momentum to help surge to a BCS title game appearance. On paper, this looks to be a mismatch in favor of Mack Brown: the Horns are returning 19 starters to Oklahoma’s 11, they’ve got a semi-established quarterback in David Ash while Bob Stoops can only hope Blake Bell is the answer and they’ll have an extra few days rest after playing on Thursday the prior week, while the Sooners will be coming off back-to-back games with Notre Dame and TCU. This sets up almost perfectly for the Longhorns, but considering the way Stoops has owned this series (9 of the last 13, often by large margins), it would be unwise to count out the Sooners.
