"In the Weeds": Keys to OU Football Beating Texas in the Red River Rivalry w/ Dusty Dvoracek Oct 09, 2025

Show notes

Gabe Ikard and Teddy Lehman are joined by Dusty Dvoracek to break down the X's and O's of some of the key things they'll be watching for in Oklahoma vs. Texas on October 11, 2025.

0:00 Intro

2:58 OU's defense can't allow Texas to find their run game at the Cotton Bowl

7:51 Texas has a left guard problem on their offensive line

13:11 OU's defense must get Arch Manning on the ground because he has good pocket mobility

22:00 OU's defense must limit Arch Manning gaining singnificant yardage on scrambles

31:56 OU must constantly harrass Arch Manning because can make all the throws from the pocket when he's comfortable

36:47 If Texas is going to continue to remove Anthony Hill Jr. from the core in 3x1 formations, then the Sooners should run a lot of 3x1 formations

42:01 If Texas is going to bring safety Jelani McDonald down to play will linebacker, then they must attack him in the running game

47:23 OU's offense needs to make Jelani McDonald get off blocks if he is going to play in the box

49:55 Texas will undoubtedly test OU's offensive line with pick games and twist games after OU's struggles against the 6 up looks against Kent State

59:15 OU's offensive line must pass off Texas' really effective twist games in 3rd and long situations

1:05:22 OU must weaponize the clap and change the snap count up to prevent Colin Simmons from utilizing his elite get off as a pass rusher

1:09:27 OU's wide receivers must make some big plays in competitive catch situations
