Oklahoma Sooners 40, Oregon Ducks 17
The best unit on the field happens to be the one least impacted by opt-outs, transfers, and COVID-19. That’s the Oklahoma Sooners offense. Though they’ll be under the direction of first-time play caller Cale Gundy, much of what made the Oklahoma Sooners explosive at times is still around with Caleb Williams, Marvin Mims, Kennedy Brooks, Michael Woods II, Jeremiah Hall, and Mario Williams expected to play significant roles.
Though Oregon has played tough on defense at times in 2021, they don’t have the offense to keep pace with the Sooners despite Oklahoma losing four starters to the NFL draft. While there might be some inexperience along the defensive front, the linebacker corp and the secondary more than makeup for it.
Led by their veteran safeties Pat Fields and Delarrin Turner-Yell, the secondary will make life difficult on Oregon quarterback Anthony Brown and force him into some bad decisions.
Caleb Williams and the Sooners offense comes out guns blazing ready to head into the offseason with some momentum for the future and Oregon is unable to keep up.
