SoonersXtra podcast: Inside OU football’s bye week ahead of Texas game

NORMAN — It’s OU football’s bye week but it’s never too late to look ahead to the Red River Rivalry.

When the Sooners walk into the Cotton Bowl next Saturday, Michael Hawkins Jr. will be the first true freshman to start an OU-Texas game. The Sooners could also be getting playmakers like wide receiver Deion Burks, running back Taylor Tatum and linebacker Dasan McCullough back from injury.

On the latest SoonersXtra podcast, beat writers Ryan Aber and Colton Sulley discuss what stood out during the Auburn game, the defense, Hawkins’ demeanor and if OU’s offense will look different against Texas.
