Sooners expected to bounce back, Texas Tech and K-State in a toss up
Oklahoma goes on the road Saturday night to end its one-game losing streak, playing Iowa State at Ames at 6:30 pm (CT) on ABC.
And while that will get the attention of most Sooners fans, our pick ’em crew has identified other key games on Saturday:
Baylor plays at West Virginia (11 am ABC). Our panel votes 7-3 for Baylor, but odds-makers say it’s only a 3 point favorite.
Texas Tech goes to Manhattan to stop K-State’s one-game win-streak. (2:30 pm FS1). Our panel says that’s a toss up (5 for KSU and 5 for Tech).
Georgia is favored over Auburn (6:30 pm ESPN).
In 2020 it’s ‘rebuild’ — not ‘reload’ — for Sooners
Every year I believe the hype. The defense is going to be better. Even approaching elite status. It’s the speed D! It’s just so speedy! And you know, they are pretty fast.
But that really doesn’t do you any good when you don’t know where you’re going.
Several busted coverages in the second half led to the Wildcats being able to erase a 21 point deficit and upset the Sooners who came into the game as a 27 point favorite.
I guess we really should have seen this coming. The defense is replacing the interior line due to Neville Gallimore graduating and Jalen Redmond opting out for the season because of the pandemic. They were also without their best pass rush in Ronnie Perkins due to suspension.
