I think Texas can win this game if it plays its best game of the season on the defensive side of the football and if the offensive tackles hold up on the edge to keep Ehlinger relatively clean as they did against K-State. With two of the offense's best weapons in Armanti Foreman and Collin Johnson demoted, though, I'm also not sure that Texas has the firepower to keep up with the weapons in the stable for OSU.

I think Oklahoma State is a perfectly fine football team. Great college quarterback. A better wide receiver. A running game that can gut a defense. It's a team that absolutely registers as one of the best in college football on the offensive side of the ball. However, Texas has played teams already this season that are at least Oklahoma State's equal, both on the road and on a neutral field, and both times it was on the cusp of a victory and just couldn't close. I think Texas closes the deal this weekend in what amounts to a season-saving challenge. In Sam Ehlinger and Todd Orlando, I trust.

Is the Texas defense, specifically the secondary and pass-rush, up to the challenge? Because the challenge is, depending where you look, the No. 1 or No. 2 offense in the country.

If the Longhorns win this game, a few things have to happen. First, they have to hit Mason Rudolph early, and at least fairly often because if they do, there will be a few chances at interceptions. Second, they must be the more physical team, and remind Oklahoma State that it's a finesse team that doesn't want to hit for four quarters. Third, they have to exploit Oklahoma State's special teams (No. 124, per FootballOutsiders.com's FEI), and they must avoid coverage breakdowns and limit explosive plays.

Oh, and on offense they have to find a way to break 30.

Coming off another emotional, physical game, I think the task of beating this Oklahoma Steam team is a little too big for these Longhorns right now. That being said, two or three times a year Oklahoma State produces a dud, and if Texas hits it in the mouth repeatedly early and avoids its characteristically slow start, it can win this game.

Texas is competitive and has been in every game. Tom Herman is pleased with his team's effort and toughness. Herman believed his team could compete with any squad in the nation prior to this season, and he was correct.

The final frontier is putting together wins against elite teams.

This could finally be the game where Chris Warren III punishes opponents, receiver Collin Johnson is unstoppable, Joshua Rowland gets a chance to kick short field goals, and this defense does not give a big plays. However, seeing is believing.

In order for Texas to win this game, the Longhorns will need to come out swinging from the opening bell and create some doubt in Oklahoma State's head, get the OSU player thinking that UT can do to OSU the same thing that TCU did.

The problem is that Texas' offense has started slowly and the Texas defense has given up too many big plays for me to predict the Longhorns to actually win. If Sam Ehlinger is healthy, I think Texas keeps it close and is able to chew up some clock, but I just think Oklahoma State's offense is too powerful.
