The Oklahoma Sooners have an excellent opportunity ahead of their matchup with FCS Maine Black Bears. They can get back above .500 on the season, but beyond what happens on the scoreboard, it’s an opportunity to get a lot of younger players to take significant snaps in the game.
The Sooners will be the more talented team and are favored for the first time since their win over Tulane. That’s the kind of year it has been for a team that’s changed offensive playcallers and quarterbacks. But with one month remaining in the season, the Sooners still have a chance to close the season on a high note, and that begins with their matchup on Saturday vs. Maine.
Let’s take a look at how the staff here at Sooners Wire thinks the game will go.
Oklahoma Sooners Staff Predictions
Oklahoma gets back into the win column against an inferior opponent, and it’s once again the defense that leads the way.
They’ve played at a high level for most of the season, and I think they’ll play great on Saturday. OU’s offense won’t suddenly transform into something spectacular, but putting points on the board will come a lot easier against the FCS, as opposed to the SEC.
The Sooners improve to 5-4 before a crucial final month for the team.
Oklahoma 28, Maine 0
