00:02 - Let's hear from Sark, Steve Sarkesian
00:07 on Facing Oklahoma Saturday.
00:09 - You know, Red River robbery,
00:11 it's why we're in college football, right?
00:12 To be part of games like this.
00:15 Two undefeated teams, two top 25 teams.
00:19 You know, the spotlight of college football will be on us.
00:23 I think that the beauty for us,
00:25 this will be our third top 25 matchup now in six games.
00:29 And every team we've played has got a winning record
00:31 and is doing good things.
00:32 So I think that we've been exposed
00:35 to some high level football now through five weeks.
00:38 And naturally we understand the emotions
00:41 that will come with this game and different things.
00:44 I think it's critical for us
00:45 that we have a great week of preparation,
00:47 that we take it one day at a time.
00:49 And then we go on the mindset to execute on Saturday.
00:52 - I like that, Joe, 'cause you know what he's telling you?
00:56 We've played good teams, they haven't.
00:59 We're ready for this moment, they're not.
01:02 It's minus six and a half, the total 60 and a half.
01:05 And guess what, Joe, I'll let you know now.
01:07 I'm laying it with Sark and the crew, Quinn Ewers
01:11 and my guys, I'm laying it.
01:12 I'm coming after you this week, Joe.
01:14 Texas again in a rout, a rout at the Cotton Bowl.
01:18 - Okay, great, I'm taking the six and a half
01:20 and I'm taking them two to one on the money line.
01:22 I'll tell you this, Dillon Gabriel didn't play
01:24 in that ball game last year.
01:26 I think, you know, a lot of people are under the impression
01:28 that Texas beat them up with their senior quarterback
01:31 on their center.
01:32 It wasn't the case, he got hurt the week before against TCU.
01:35 Their defense is much better, much better in run support.
01:39 They can run the football.
01:40 And where's all the pressure in terms of this ball game?
01:43 It's not on Oklahoma and Brett Venables,
01:45 it's on Steve Sarkisian because they lose this game
01:48 all of a sudden, then they're on shaky ground
01:51 to potentially win the Big 12 and more importantly,
01:54 knock down the college football playoff.
01:56 Give me Oklahoma plus the points and on the money line.
01:58 Good luck.
