Summary

The greatest rivalry in College Football is upon us. That's right, it's Red River Showdown week on The Flagship Podcast and this week's preview show includes a very special guest from the other side of the Red River in former Sooners' offensive lineman and current SiriusXM host Gabe Ikard. Ikard joins Horns247 columnist Chip Brown for an exclusive one-on-one preview of the Longhorns and Sooners ahead of Saturday's matchup. Gabe and Chip break down all the Sooners have at their disposal as Lincoln Riley looks to snap a two-game Big 12 losing streak, which is something the young head coach has never experienced during his time in Norman prior to this season. Gabe and Chip weigh in on the progress of redshirt freshman quarterback Spencer Rattler and look ahead to Saturday's game, including details on what Texas fans need to know about Oklahoma ahead of the 2020 Red River Showdown. Catch all of that and more on this week's game preview edition of The Flagship Podcast.
