Brandon Drumm goes Behind Enemy Lines with C.J. Vogel of On Texas Football for an honest look at the Longhorns. The conversation covers Arch Manning’s consistency, Texas’ problems establishing the run, the offensive lines facing two disruptive defensive fronts, and the mistakes that have held John Mateer and OU’s offense back. Vogel also identifies a potential opening for Oklahoma’s tight ends over the middle. We work through the linebacker and secondary matchups, OU’s injury questions as discussed at recording, and Texas’ receiver talent before getting into turnovers, defensive scoring and our game picks.
