Brian Orakpo vs. Russell Okung

This is one of the biggest and most intriguing match-ups that we will see on Saturday. Oklahoma State's best offensive lineman, LT Russell Okung (6-5, 300), will be paired up against Texas' best defensive players, Brian Orakpo (6-4, 260). 

Even though Okung has the size advantage over Orakpo, Orakpo is very quick and athletic. Okung could have a tough day trying to keep him out of the backfield and away from Robinson.

Another good thing going for Texas' 3-4 defense is that defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has the option to rotate Orakpo from defensive end to linebacker. His speed gives him the ability to cover that space at linebacker and rush the passer at defensive end. 

With Orakpo and Kindle on the outside, Robinson will need good blocking in order to get the time he needs and scramble if necessary. It will be key for the Pokes O-line to stop Orakpo if they want to be successful both on the ground and through the air.
