They have played annually at the State Fair of Texas since 1929, according to The Associated Press, and when the Longhorns (5-0, 1-0) and Sooners (4-1, 1-1) meet Saturday for the first time as members of the SEC, it will be the first time in 40 years that Texas will play in the rivalry as the nation’s No. 1 team.

Both schools have recruiting classes that are among the best in the nation for the Class of 2025, with UT ranked No. 6 and OU No. 11. Each team has six commits from the Dallas area, and here is a look at how they did Friday night.
