Well, the staff here is unanimous, believing that Oklahoma scores 48 points and has a solid outing against a good SMU offense.
There’s something different about this team in 2023 than what it was a year ago. There’s a swagger and a physicality that comes with it. On both side of the ball, the Sooners want to be the aggressor and punish their opponents. Although SMU is a better team that Arkansas State, they won’t have the depth of talent that the Sooners possess or the chip on their shoulder either.
The Sooners defense looks ready to make a significant run in 2023 after they put together another strong performance to start the season. SMU quarterback Preston Stone will hit a few plays that make the game interesting, but the Sooners’ pass rush comes to life and makes the day difficult for the talented signal caller.
Dillon Gabriel repeats his performance from a week ago, throwing for more than 300 yards and three or four touchdowns. He was confident, efficient, and decisive with the football against Arkansas State. If he can display those same attributes against the Mustangs, it will be a long day for SMU’s defense.
Oklahoma 48, SMU 17
