NORMAN, Oklahoma -- The Oklahoma Sooners have a bit of a dilemma heading into Saturday's Red River Rivalry with Texas.

The team in the OU-Texas who has rushed for more yards has won the matchup the past 12 years.

But this year, the Sooners rank 89th nationally in rushing offense.

OU will have to decide whether to rely on Landry Jones' solid play or attempt to force the run against a vulnerable Texas defense.
