The Oklahoma Sooners come into this game lloking to add on to their 51-0 win over UTEP last time out to improve to 1-0 on the year. After this game, Oklahoma will take on New Mexico at home.
John Mateer completed 11 of 17 passes for 225 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Whitt Newbauer went 1 for 1 for 6 yards. Lloyd Avant led the Sooners on the ground with 79 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, while Whitt Newbauer added a rushing touchdown.

On defense, Reggie Powers III and Owen Heinecke tied for the team high with 7 total tackles each. Dane Bathurst and Adepoju Adebawore each logged 1 solo sack, Kip Lewis, James Carrington, Bishop Thomas, and Jake Kreul split two sacks, and Isaiah Sategna III scored Oklahoma’s lone defensive touchdown.
The Michigan Wolverines come into this game looking to add on to their 13-12 win over Western Michigan last time out to sit at 1-0 on the year. After this game, Michigan will take on UTEP at home.
Bryce Underwood completed 12 of 22 passes for 170 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception, while also leading the Wolverines on the ground with 47 yards and a touchdown on 9 carries. Jordan Marshall added 44 rushing yards on 11 carries. JJ Buchanan led all receivers with 6 receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown. On defense, Troy Bowles recorded a team-high 12 total tackles. Dom Nichols logged 1.5 sacks, while Nate Marshall contributed half a sack.
I’m on Oklahoma here. I get that part of this line is public perception with how Michigan won last week and Oklahoma blew out a lowly UTEP team and that’s feeding into Michigan’s motivation here. However, I can’t blindly ignore how bad Michigan was for the other 59:59 of that game. Oklahoma is still headed out on the road which is never easy and it’ll be interesting to see how Mateer handles himself, but I just think Oklahoma is the better team across the board and all in all, I have to roll with the Sooners here.
