Welcome to another Saturday of Sooner football. The Sooners are coming off one the more memorable games in the modern era. They lost while playing host to Josh Heupels Tennessee Volunteers in the first ever SEC tilt for the Sooners.
Jackson Arnold played poorly, posting a 4.7qbr while coughing the ball up three times in the first half. His nuts were so far up in his throat it was choking off oxygen to his brain. Thankfully, the coaching staff realized this and benched him in the first half. Kudos to them for doing so.
The defense played lights out and showed they can keep the Sooners in any game. We now live in a biazarro world where the Oklahoma Sooners have a defense that can hold teams under 31 points and an offense that might have trouble putting up 24.
The Sooners are now 3-1 and today they face a beatable Auburn Tigers team. Unfortunately, nothing is going well for the Sooners. They bring in a true freshman quarterback with a still banged up patchwork offensive line. Michael Hawkins Jr. will be without Taylor Tatum at running back. Nic Anderson is out at WR, along with Deion Burks. Of course, this is in addition to the other injuries at wide receiver.
OFFENSE
My theory is that we haven't seen a real Seth Litrell offense yet. He's got the same record as Jackson Arnold and the same patchwork O-Line. I'm not sure Lincoln Riley could call a game with JA. That said, I'm definitely not expecting 60 today or any time this season. I'm just saying, improvement with MHJ seems plausible.
My OPOG is Michael Hawkins, Jr. He is the only reason for hope as last week he settled into a nearly impoosible situation, against the best defensive line the Sooners will see all season. He looked sharp, decisive and, importantly, he wasn't scared and he showed his team he'd lay it out for them.
He's going to have his struggles and I sure hope he stays healthy. The rumor is he's been better than JA since he got on campus. Maybe the Sooners have their guy after all.
DEFENSE
This is easily the best defense we've had in the last 15 years. It's a shame such a good effort resulted in the L against the Vols.
Today, they face a mistake prone Tiger offense with their own questions at Quarterback. They could feast if there isn't a letdown.
I'm going with Jayden Jackson for my DPOG. That young fella is disruptive and always in good position to make plays.
THE SCORE
It's time to see what the kids can do and hope for incremental improvement today. We've got a freshman qb with a depleted wr group. Keep an eye out for Jacoby Johnson. They are moving him from db to wr and, according to rumor, he is playing so well he could start. He's 6'2" and could be a good target.
I do think the Sooners win today just because, thankfully, Auburn is not good. I'll take the Sooners 34, Auburn 17.
