00:00Let's get to the Red River rivalry coach inside the Cotton Bowl today at the Texas State Fair.
00:09Often very close between these two teams.
00:11Not as the odds makers expect on this Saturday, 14 and a half points spread in favor of Texas
00:18against Oklahoma.
00:19Coach Bowden, how does the rivalry, the familiarity between these two programs affect your breakdown
00:24of this matchup?
00:25Well, you know, if the fans could play, it'd be wild.
00:29I mean, the fans have been part of this rivalry forever, and with so many portal transfers,
00:33I don't know if players really understand how big this game is, goes back to the Southwest
00:38Conference.
00:39It's huge in every fan's mind, but it's one of those games that Texas right now, they've
00:43got the talent advantage over the years.
00:47Most of the time, I would see Oklahoma with the talent advantage.
00:49This is on Texas, but it's really a game of Texas, the offense of Oklahoma versus the
00:55Texas defense, because they've struggled on offense in Oklahoma.
00:59They've got a very good defense at Texas, but Texas has a great offense, too.
01:03Who's going to start at quarterback?
01:04I think it's going to be Quinn Ewerth.
01:06I'm not sure that matters in regard to who's going to win.
01:09Coach, let's talk about Quinn Ewerth.
01:11It's been about four or five weeks since he last played.
01:14Any potential rust in regards to the quarterback-wide receiver relationship?
01:19And a bigger question is, if they're struggling in the fourth quarter and Ewerth is still
01:23in there, any shot that Sork moves on to Arch Manning to potentially pull out the win?
01:29You know, I just go back to last night's Utah game, where they played their camp rising.
01:35He wasn't ready, or he got his ankle turned, or his thumb wasn't, his finger wasn't ready,
01:40and it hurt him.
01:41He couldn't play very well.
01:42I think the same thing, Ewerth, he's ready to go.
01:45They're probably going to play, but if he does not play or is still banged up, it's
01:50going to be Archie Manning real quick, and they're still in pretty good hands.
01:53We have not seen Quinn Ewerth since September 14th in the opening half, over a month ago
01:58against UTSA.
