As the conclusion of our Red River Rivalry in July package, the staffs of SoonerNation and HornsNation are making way-too-early predictions on the Oct. 13 OU-Texas game. Here are the HornsNation staff's picks. Give your prediction on our forum. 
Oklahoma 21, Texas 16
Obviously this prediction will change between now and October, but as of today, it's hard to see this game turning into a shootout. Texas is overflowing with all-conference-caliber players defensively; OU's secondary is loaded with stars. Both offenses will have trouble scoring, but the Sooners have the more experienced QB in four-year starter Landry Jones. That usually is the difference between winning and losing in this game.
