KTUL.com - Tulsa's Channel 8 - News, Weather & SportsSooners Playing Texas With Austin Box On Their Minds

The top-ranked Sooners face the 10th-ranked Texas Longhorns Saturday in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

When they take the field they will do so with the memory of Austin Box on their hearts and minds.  Austin passed away over the summer.  He was a starting linebacker for the Sooners.

Each game this season one defensive player wears Austin's number-12 jersey.  It's a way to honor his memory.
