Football is back and with it comes OU-Texas trash talking.

Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger tweeted that working with Longhorn's strength and conditioning coach Yancy McKnight would get you more than 14 reps on bench press at the NFL Combine — a reference to Oklahoma junior offensive lineman Orlando Brown's performance at this year's combine.

Sooners freshman wide receiver CeeDee Lamb tweeted back at him saying that Brown will still be a high draft pick despite this.

The NFL Draft will be April 26-28 in Arlington, Texas.
