Lunch with the Coach: The ONLY Way Texas Loses to Oklahoma?

October 5, 2026·21 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Coach Bob Shipley and Coach Bryan Erwin preview the Red River Rivalry and explain why records, rankings and expectations mean nothing inside the Cotton Bowl. The coaches reveal how momentum can transform this matchup and why winning the turnover battle is the biggest key to preventing Oklahoma from pulling off the upset. The panel also identifies what Texas must improve following the bye week, including its struggling running game, pass protection and Arch Manning’s consistency against the blitz. Plus, they explain why the returns of Hollywood Smothers and Nick Townsend could be critical—and why penalties, poor communication and another disastrous special-teams performance could put the Longhorns in danger.
