One week after reading my post, laughing hysterically, shitting on it and making Akron eat it, the Sooners travel to Tennessee for an SEC tilt in front of the most fans to ever witness (you may or may not have heard) an OU game. I may have overestimated the Zips chances, but can you blame after recent seasons? The Vols should be a much tougher test. The road environment, the big crowd, the fact that Stoops hasn't always had the troops completely ready in the situations in recent past all should give pause to the faithful.
The Sooners had a difficult time beating these guys last season in Norman. This is largely the same young Vols team this season, only with another year to gain experience. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs gave the Sooners fits last year as is the fashion with any QB who can run and prolong plays. He's back as are talented running backs Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara who both proved very tough last season. There is no shortage of weapons on the Vols offense and the Sooner D will be tested early and often.
The good news is the Sooners are not the same team as last year. The offense looked balanced and almost as if they had tried throwing passes during practice at some point. This is an upgrade. That said, there was a slow start against Akron. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and chalk that up to week 1 kinks. But, you know how it sucks when another team comes to Norman and comes out on fire? It would be pretty awesome to do the same to Tennessee tomorrow and find out what it sounds like to hear a mouse peeing on Cotton in front of 104k+.
Offense
One week after Baker Mayfield gave the Sooner State a collective boner that became the first object on earth photographed by the Mars rover, one would be tempted to go with him as their OPG. I would love to regret not picking him again next week, but I refuse to. Bowling Green threw for 433 against the Vols last week. I think Mayfield builds off of last week and has another nice outing with 300 plus yards and 2 TDs.
Defense
I didn't see the game last week so I have little to go on in terms of who I thought looked solid. Tennessee is multi-dimensional on offense and it will require a full team approach to slow them down. I think Charles "Ass" Tapper has a nice game as he gets to the Q at least once and keeps the two-headed RB contained with multiple tackles in the run game.
Score
This will be a tough game for OU. They have everything to prove and this game could be a big step in shedding some of the road demons that have plagued them. Not to mention it would be a nice confidence builder for the rest of the season. Tennessee will get some points and the crowd will carry them to an extent. That said, I think the Sooners play enough defense and the offense rolls up some points, Sooners win it in a nice road statement, 33-20.
Big game this week, let's stomp some Vol nuts.
Boomer to the Motherfuckin Sooner.
