The Oklahoma Sooners got a resounding win over Kent State, but who’s seen their stock rise and fall after the up-and-down week 2 performance?

Oklahoma is ready to wrap up its 2022 nonconference schedule on Saturday with a road game at Nebraska. They’ll head into their longtime rivals’ home with a nice bit of momentum after disposing of another bowl team from 2021, the Kent State Golden Flashes.

The first half was far from pretty until the final minute, but the second half looked a lot closer to what people expected when Oklahoma and Kent State were scheduled.

It took an inspired effort from the defense and Marvin Mims going nuclear, but it all came together. However, the game also showed us that some parts of this Sooners team are trending up while others started trending down this game.
