No. 7 Oklahoma vs. UCF Knights: Sooners Wire Staff Predictions for Week 8

The Oklahoma Sooners put their undefeated season on the line when they host the UCF Knights. Here are this week’s Sooners Wire Staff predictions.

The Oklahoma Sooners look to continue their undefeated march through the 2023 season. On Saturday, the Sooners look to further fortify their position as the king of the Big 12 realm as they welcome the [autotag]UCF Knights[/autotag] into Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

The Knights are 3-3, losing three straight to open their tenure in Big 12 play, including a 51-22 loss to Kansas in week 6.

The Sooners have a tough assignment ahead of them, with one of the best offenses in the country coming to Norman, but Oklahoma’s defense has been up to the task each week.

To get you ready for Saturday, here are this week’s Sooners Wire Staff Predictions.

Sooners Wire Staff Predictions

The Oklahoma Sooners’ offense is just too much for the UCF Knights’ defense. The Knights rank 119th in rush defense, and while they reportedly are changing some things schematically, it just won’t matter.

Oklahoma’s defense is going to have to play their “A” game because UCF’s offense is no joke, especially with John Rhys Plumlee finally 100%.

I think UCF will have some offensive success early, but Oklahoma dominates the second half.

Sooners 55, Knights 17
