Texasleads the nationin scoring, but Oklahoma's offense features speedy scatback Elvis Peacock and a now injury-free Thomas Lott, the Sooners’ starting quarterback last season Oklahomahas notlost to the Longhorns since 1970 and is a three-point choice not to lose again. The annual clash presents a large question mark this year. The Longhornsare scoring points furiously and beating teamswithoutanytrouble, but they haven't played anybodyof ‘reputeeither “They are a young team and they have a new coachand theyare in a new formation,’’ said Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer. ‘‘Young players need to be sold on what they are doing and Fred Akers (Texas’ coach) has had great successin doing that, I know one thing. They are exploiting someof the best talent there theyhave ever had.” “They used to be conservative, but they aren't anymore. Theyareliable to burn you any time, anywhere on the field. They have good solid players and theyline upin a lot of formations. And (Fullback) Earl Campbell lookslighter and quicker to me than I've ever seen him.” Campbell symbolizes the potencyof Texas’ offense. Despite playing only small segments of the Longhorns’ first three games, Campbell has gained 374 yards for an average of 7.6 yards per carry A close game maybesettled by the kickers, whoare strong for both teams Texas’ junior Russell Erxleben made an NCAA record v7-yard field goal last week against Rice and has kickedfive field goals in the Longhorns’ threelop- game.

No. 9 Arkansas is idle. Switzer is so impressed by Erxleben’s kicking ability that he sees him as a future numberonedraft pick by the pros, while Akers ranks Erxleven as the best kicker in the nation Bear Bryant and his crimsontide will provide the top ranked Trojans with their first major test of the season.
