It seems like everyone is trying to play up the &#8220;big&#8221; match-up between unbeaten Texas and their rivals Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<p>As a fan of Texas and a person who does not like Oklahoma football I&#8217;ll sum up all that needs to be said about this game.<\/p>\n<p>Two all-time teams who met 103 times in a series of classic games like last seasons classic game that was so great it has it&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2008_Texas_vs._Oklahoma_football_game\">own page on wikipedia<\/a>. Texas needs to beat Oklahoma if they want to have any chance at a National Championship this season and Oklahoma is looking to avenge last seasons loss.<\/p>\n<p>The end.<\/p>\n<p>No where did I mention that Sam Bradford is returning, because had Sam Bradford not appeared in this game that would be really odd considering his performance last week. I also didn&#8217;t mention Colt\u00a0 McCoy&#8217;s Heisman credentials because to be frank if he can&#8217;t beat Oklahoma this year he don&#8217;t deserve anything.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be honest people are trying to play up McCoy&#8217;s season when in reality he&#8217;s looked well not the same Colt McCoy we saw last season. His rating is down as are his TD&#8217;s while his INT&#8217;s are up. Even his running game has looked bad,he&#8217;s gone from 561 yards last season and a 4.1 average to 58 yards and a 1.7 avg this season.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying Colt McCoy is a bad QB or anything of the like. It&#8217;s just he put up better numbers last season and frankly talking about the Heisman trophy just because he&#8217;s on the number two team in the country as they play one of the biggest rivalries in college football. A rivalry so big it&#8217;s played at a neutral site and is the highlight of the Texas State Fair.<\/p>\n<p>Heisman? Oh come on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok I&#8217;m not sure where all the Colt McCoy Heisman Trophy talk is coming from the last few days.
