Oklahoma 48, Texas Tech 24
Last weekend of October. The Sooners are undefeated at 8-0 and yet, no one is doing any backflips.
Why is that?
Well, that’s what happens when you struggle with one-win Kansas for 60 percent of the game. And still, the Sooners made it out undefeated after putting things together in the second half.
With the possibilities of getting DJ Graham, Delarrin Turner-Yell, and Jalen Redmond back on defense the Sooners defense could be heading in the right direction.
Either way, they’ll have to show up and bounce back from their worst bit of football this entire season.
The offense comes out sizzling and this defense, with some reinforcements, plays a much better game. Caleb Williams dazzles, Eric Gray, Jadon Haselwood and Austin Stogner score and the Sooners head into the bye 9-0 ready to recharge and get set for the hardest three-game stretch of the season.

Oklahoma 37, Texas Tech 30
I want to believe that this is the week the Oklahoma Sooners put it all together and put on a dominating performance over Texas Tech.
Unfortunately, I can’t get the images if that first half out of my mind.
Alex Grinch hasn’t been a fan of the way his guys have practiced or prepared. Does that performance against Kansas, where it took the offense scoring on every possession light a spark? I’m still skeptical.
The Oklahoma Sooners will win this game, but I get the feeling it will take more magic from true freshman quarterback Caleb Williams. After a subpar first half in which he threw a bad interception, Williams rebounds and plays electric.
Lincoln Riley gets Williams running the ball early to take the edge off and the offense puts on another efficient display.
