I took the under. I tend to think this game is going to turn into a grind-it-out dog fight. First big road test for this team, and CJH teams don’t have a history of lighting them up.
Not only that but Venables was a d**m good DC at Clemson whom had won NCs. He knows great defense. He’ll have every exotic blitz/coverage/confusion package ready to throw at Nico. They’ll be ready on all sides.
On the flip side, I have a feeling Heupel has been developing a “special” playbook for this specific game - 4 years in the making. He has his QB. Freshman no doubt but a great one….and a strong defense.
LFG!!!
I’ll be happy to be prove incorrect. But I think 5-6 TDs this game are going to be hard to come by. Maybe we can get an assist or two from the defense.
It will be noisy and I can see us getting behind a score early in the game. Nico must stay composed and o line must play well while limiting penalties.Under. I’ll be surprised to see us score more than 31. Heupel’s offense has always underperformed on the road especially in hostile environments. We’ve yet to see Nico run this offense with a silent count and Oklahoma is always tough in Norman. If we are going to win this game; it’ll be because of stellar play from our defense. It’s time for that d-line to eat!
After watching OK’s last 2 games, I could see them struggling to reach double digits barring turnover problems. JMOI saw where the O/U for total score for both teams was 47.5.
So, if you can get a O/U on Vols alone for 40, logic would say to take the under. But, I would not be one but comfortable in taking it. This offense has the potential to be special.
We’ve got a really good team that hasn’t played anyone yet. Kent State is the worst team I’ve ever seen, NC State was barely ranked, and Chattanooga is an FCS school. We’ll win this game comfortably but I’m not expecting a blowout “fiddy” win. I’ll be glad to eat crow if the blowout happens though!Go look at our stats on ncaa.com and see how many we are top 5 in. Offense and defense both top 2. And that’s with other teams like Ohio state who haven’t played any talent at all literally
