Red River Rivalry: Numbers game

12:38 AM CDT on Friday, October 5, 2007

From staff reports

57

Number of kicks that Texas special teams have blocked since Mack Brown became coach in 1998. The breakdown: 30 punts, 15 field goal attempts, 12 point-after attempts.

528

Victories for Oklahoma since World War II, the most of any program.

9

Consecutive nine-win seasons for Texas, the only Bowl Championship Subdivision team (Division I-A) that can make that claim.

322.4

Average weight in pounds of OU's starting offensive line, the heaviest line of the Bob Stoops era. Only Texas Tech (335.8) has a heavier offensive line nationally.

9

Consecutive years that a player from Austin has been on the Oklahoma roster. Quarterback Hays McEachern is the son of former Texas QB Randy McEachern. His mother, Jenna, was a Longhorns cheerleader.

51

Texas' combined margin of victory in the last two games against Oklahoma. It's also the largest two-year total for the Longhorns in the Red River Rivalry, topping the combined 45-point margin in 1960-61.

33

Times that both teams have been nationally ranked entering the game. The lower-ranked team has won 15 of those 33 meetings.

13

Plays of 40 yards or longer for the Oklahoma offense, including nine pass plays and four rushes. Four different Sooners have accounted for the four rushing plays.

62

Colt McCoy's national passing efficiency ranking in the Bowl Subdivision. Last year, he finished eighth in his first season as a starter.

291

Yards rushing by Oklahoma's De'Mond Parker in the 1997 game. Parker also scored three touchdowns. It wasn't enough as Texas' Ricky Williams ran for 223 yards in a 27-24 Longhorns' victory.
