Two Top 25 teams take to the field in college football action on Saturday when the 25th ranked Tennessee Volunteers host the 19th ranked Oklahoma Sooners. The game is scheduled for a 6:00 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on ESPN. Currently the betting odds for the game are listed as a pick em as it expects to be a close contest.
Hopefully this is an excellent game between a pair of power conference schools in this one. Oklahoma got a very solid win over Akron, whipping the ball all over the field for 439 yards. The Sooners ran the ball for only 100 yards, they’re going to need to be balanced in this one against Tennessee.
Butch Jones has a great thing going at Tennessee, they beat Bowling Green 59-30 last week and find themselves ranked. Jones and the Volunteers have endured some of the tough times, going 13-13 to date as coach of Tennessee, this game is certainly their toughest on the non-conference slate. Bob Stoops and the Sooners might be the best team in the Big 12 nobody is talking about, picking up a road win in SEC country would be a big plus for them.
The Sooners have won two of the three all-time meetings with Tennessee, but this is the first time they are playing in Knoxville. They haven’t played in almost 50 years, either. Tennessee ran for almost 400 yards in their opening win, obviously Oklahoma is going to have to slow down the run in order to stay in the game. Both Alvin Kamara and Jalen Hurd went over the century mark for the Vols in that one, Joshua Dobbs threw for 205 and rushed for 89 more, accounting for three total scores.
Bowling Green tossed for 433 yards through the air, though. Baker Mayfield pitched it around for 388 in the Sooners opening win, will Oklahoma be able to have success through the air in this one?
The Oklahoma defense gives them an advantage here. They’re going to pressure Dobbs and force Tennessee into turnovers., plus keep the Tennessee attack under control.
