Marvin Mims on OU-Texas: 'If you’re not fired up to play this game, you don’t love football'

Marvin Mims has made memorable plays in two memorable Oklahoma-Texas football games. Last season, his pylon-tapping 52-yard touchdown catch was a critical piece of the Sooners' 55-48 comeback victory over the Longhorns. In 2020, he had a touchdown reception in a 53-45 four-overtime triumph. Oklahoma has captured four straight wins over their heated rival, but odds are against it for Saturday's 11 a.m. contest inside the Cotton Bowl.

Gabriel is not sure if he will play for the team on Saturday. Beville is the backup quarterback. He guided one touchdown drive on his own last Saturday, a 14-play march that ended in the fourth quarter. Marvin Mims has a different job than the quarterbacks. He believes Bevil will do well.

Marvin Mims is excited about the Cotton Bowl. He will talk to Beville and all the quarterbacks about what to expect. Mim says it's half orange and half crimson. It's one of the hardest games you'll play from a physical standpoint. Momentum will matter.
