The Pick

Ewers is back for the Longhorns, which makes a potent offense even better. He made some big throws in the game against Alabama before he got hurt. He and wide receiver Xavier Worthy will have a big day against an awful Sooners defense that has given up a combined 96 points in his last two weeks. It's a rivalry, so you never know what to expect, but Hook 'em Horns!
