Game of the Week: #11 Texas 31 (5-1) @ #3 Oklahoma 37 (6-0) Again, the Red River Shootout lives up to its billing with serious Big Twelve and national implications. Both teams enter the game undefeated, eyeing a BCS bid. Sam Bradford, DeMarco Murray and the Sooners prevail by less than a touchdown, winning 80.3% of the time and by an average score of 37-31.
