    Texas football looks for revenge when it takes on rival Oklahoma on Saturday at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

    The No. 1 Longhorns (5-0, 1-0 SEC) are favorited by 14.5 points on Saturday, but will hope to avoid upset against the No. 16 Sooners (4-1, 1-1) and their true freshman quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr.

    Thankfully for Texas, it regains third year starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, who returns after missing the Longhorns past three games due to injury. Ewers will face off against the Hawkins Jr., who's making only his second career start after earning the job over former five-star recruit Jackson Arnold.

    Texas certainly hopes to keep Oklahoma from sticking around, especially in a rivalry environment.

    Here's how ESPN's "College GameDay" predicted the game:
