CeeDee Lamb predicts Oklahoma 'by 60' in Red River Rivalry

Former Oklahoma star and current Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb has made his thoughts on this weekend’s Red River Rivalry clear.

Lamb predicted “OU by 60,” when asked about the matchup, according to Cowboys reporter Joseph Hoyt.

Both Texas and Oklahoma are undefeated and in a position to reach the College Football Playoff heading into Saturday’s showdown. The Longhorns are currently favored by 5.5 points.

It’s no surprise the former Sooners star picked OU to win the matchup. Lamb played at Oklahoma from 2017-19, before being drafted by the Cowboys in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. He was taken No. 17 overall.

Oklahoma went 3-1 against Texas during the three seasons CeeDee Lamb played for the Sooners. Lamb’s biggest game against the Longhorns came as a junior in 2019 when he caught 10 passes for 171 yards and three touchdowns.

Lamb earned All-American honors that season after catching 62 passes for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns.

The Texas native has continued to make big plays in the NFL and is currently the top receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. He has made the Pro Bowl twice and was named second-team All-Pro after catching 107 passes for 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns last season.

Caleb Williams posts ‘Horns Down’ picture to Instagram story ahead of Red River Rivalry

CeeDee Lamb isn’t the only former Oklahoma player backing the Sooners on Saturday.

 USC quarterback Caleb Williams, who transferred from Oklahoma when Lincoln Riley left the program, posted his thoughts on Instagram. That included a picture of him doing the ‘horns down’ hand symbol.

Within the photo that Williams posted were the words, “Saxet hate week drop a horns down.”

Caleb Williams played in 11 games for the Oklahoma Sooners during the 2021 season. That year, he had a 64.5% completion percentage, 21 touchdowns and four interceptions. At the time, he was seen as one of the best young quarterbacks in college football. The next year, he won the Heisman Trophy while at USC.

In that one season with the Sooners, Williams had a phenomenal game in the Red River Rivalry against Texas. Oklahoma needed every bit of that great game, too, with Williams throwing for 212 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 88 yards and a score. That was a dramatic 55-48 win for Oklahoma. The Sooners are looking to bounce back on Saturday after getting blown out by the Longhorns last season.
