Deion Burks Out for Red River Rivalry

In college football, significant developments are unfolding ahead of the Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Rivalry. Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is set to return after recovering from an abdominal strain, bolstering Texas' offense. Oklahoma faces challenges as key receiver Deion Burks is confirmed out due to a soft tissue injury, alongside other injured wideouts, leaving freshman quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. to rely on lesser-experienced receivers. Both teams come off a bye week, with the rivalry historically intense as Texas enters ranked No. 1 and Oklahoma No. 18. The game will kick off at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Saturday afternoon.
