WATCH: Colt McCoy narrates a Texas hype video for the Red River Rivalry

The Red River Rivalry: There’s nothing like it in college football.

The second Saturday in October at the State Fair with the Cotton Bowl split 50/50 burnt orange and white and crimson and cream as the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners play their annual grudge match in Dallas.

This year, Longhorn legend Colt McCoy narrates the hype video for Saturday’s game between No. 1 Texas and No. 18 Oklahoma.

“A lot has changed over the years, but one thing remains the same: this game is where legends are made. The plays, the moments, the memories, they are more than history. They are immortal,” says McCoy.

“It’s hard to describe. Once you see it, once you feel it, you understand it. You see it in the eyes of every player, you hear it in the cheers of every family. You feel the love and that fuels the fire. We saw all the highlights, the unforgettable plays frozen in time,” he continues.

“Now it’s our turn, time to add our own chapter to this rivalry. We know what it takes: the fight, the grip, the passion. It’s in our blood. It’s what we do. When you put on that helmet you don’t just walk onto a field, you carry the legacy of every Longhorn that stormed out of that tunnel, you play for every Texan that ever bled burnt orange and every brother that stands next to you . There’s no love in Oklahoma, but there’s plenty of struggle in Texas, because history is not only behind us, but right in front of us, ready to be remade. Plug them in.”
