OKLAHOMA WILL WIN IF
The Sooners keep Bradford upright, which means fending off Orakpo and Muschamp's various blitzes. Given time, Bradford can pick apart secondaries, especially an unproven group like the Longhorns have this season. The Sooners also must prevent McCoy from getting out of the pocket and making big plays on runs or finding receivers breaking open late.
TEXAS WILL WIN IF
The Longhorns will get a big boost if they can at least make Oklahoma respect the running game. That would slow OU's pass rush and give McCoy more time. Texas needs to pressure Bradford and avoid giving up long passes, which it wasn't able to do last season. Texas cannot afford to commit turnovers and needs to get a field position advantage. A close game could work in Texas' favor because Lawrence seems to provide an edge in the kicking game.
EXPERT PICKS
Olin Buchanan: Oklahoma 31, Texas 27
Tom Dienhart: Oklahoma 33, Texas 24
David Fox: Oklahoma 31, Texas 24
Mike Huguenin: Oklahoma 34, Texas 24
Steve Megargee: Oklahoma 28, Texas 24
blah blah blah, OU BY 10!

I think it comes down to Texas' defense putting pressure on Bradford and making him rush his throws or sacking him and also the young Texas DB's not getting burned. And the obvious, whoever commits the fewest key turnovers. If these things are in the Longhorns favor they win the game.
Hook'em!
OU sucks!!
