27th annual Run to Dallas kicks off ahead of Red River Rivalry

NORMAN, Okla. (KFOR) - The Red River Rivalry kicked off Wednesday morning as the Sooners’ head football coach Brent Venables handed off a game ball to an OU NROTC Battalion Commander. 

"I know we're in great, great hands,” said Venables. “This is the game ball that's going to be delivered in the Cotton Bowl to the referees on Saturday afternoon. This represents the first carry of the game. Nothing impacts the game more than turnover. So, hold on to this ball tightly." 

GOOD NEWS!...
