Oklahoma Sooners vs. UTEP Miners: Sooners Wire staff predictions

Sooners Wire staff predicts the Oklahoma Sooners’ Week 1 matchup vs. the UTEP Miners.

The Oklahoma Sooners are going to roll in Week 1. There will not be any feeling-out process or second-half letdown. The program, the fans and the players have bought what Brent Venables is selling, which should make for an incredible atmosphere on Saturday.

The Sooners will simply be too much for a UTEP team that was inefficient in both the running and the passing game. Oklahoma will jump to a big lead early, allowing it to play younger guys who could be significant role players for the Sooners in 2022 and beyond.

Oklahoma 56, UTEP 7
