Top 25 Preview Capsules

Presented by Epson

Saturday, Oct. 11

No. 1 Oklahoma (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) vs. No. 5 Texas (5-0, 1-0), noon (FSN)

Line: Oklahoma by 7.

Series Record: Texas leads 57-40-5.

Last meeting: 2007, Oklahoma won 28-21.

What's at Stake

Everything, from the national title chase to the Big 12 to the matchup of Heisman Trophy contenders in quarterbacks Sam Bradford of Oklahoma and Colt McCoy of Texas. The 103rd meeting of cross-border rivals is the 10th time both teams have been ranked in the top five and the 12th time one of them has been No. 1.

Key Matchup

Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo vs. Sooners offensive tackle Phil Loadholt. Orakpo has seven of Texas' 19 sacks. He'll need all the strength in his 515-pound bench press to bullrush the 6-foot-8, 337-pound Loadholt, who hasn't given up a sack this season.

Players to Watch

Oklahoma: WRs Manuel Johnson and Juaquin Iglesias have scored 10 touchdowns and could be open most of the afternoon against a Texas secondary that starts two freshmen Earl Thomas and Blake Gideon at safety.

Texas: RB Chris Ogbannaya will be counted on more as a pass receiver and protector for McCoy than he is a runner. He has the longest catch (65 yards) and run (51 yards) for the Longhorns this season, but it not considered a workhorse who can carry the ball 20-25 times. McCoy leads Texas in rushing with 317 yards.
