Tennessee vs. Oklahoma Preview & Prediction

A pair of Top-15 teams will open league play against one another in the Southeastern Conference when No. 6 Tennessee heads out to play No. 15 Oklahoma on Saturday.

As we get closer to kickoff in Norman this weekend, we have a better idea of who’s going to be in, out, or undetermined yet for the Volunteers and the Sooners. This comes after 18 players, seven for the road team and 11 for the home squad, made the release of the injury report on Wednesday.

Tennessee comes in as one of the hottest teams in the country to open the year. They’re 3-0 where they’ve won by a total score of 191-13 for an average of 63.7 points per game scored while allowing only 4.3 points. This will be their toughest competition yet, though, with it being their first true road game against a fellow highly-rated conference opponent.

As for Oklahoma, this is their first-ever game in the league with it being their debut to the SEC. They’re playing it after their own 3-0 start where they’ve won by an average of 22.3 points per victory. Still, they’ve also had their questions over the past two weeks after having to win close ones over Houston and Tulane.

There are also the connections between the two head coaches and with OU. Josh Heupel returns after being a national title-winning quarterback for the Sooners in 2000. He also spent over a decade on staff in two stints, specifically working with their offense as a co-coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He will then be matching up against Brent Venables, who is in his third season as head coach at Oklahoma, who was on that staff with the program during Heupel’s career there as a player.
