Oklahoma proving to be worthy adversary for Texas through three games

You might not know the names, but Oklahoma’s team is pushing for a Top 10 Red River matchup.

The Oklahoma Sooners are looking good through three games. After a strong 3-0 start, the team is setting up for a potential Top 10 matchup over Red River weekend.

The Sooners have proven to be among the more dangerous offenses in the country through three weeks. The team is seventh in total offense with 534 yards per contest. Incidentally, fellow Big 12 squad UCF leads college football with 617.7 yards per game.

Oklahoma has been one of the more efficient offenses in the country in 2023. Last week against Tulsa, Dillon Gabriel completed 28 of 31 passes for 421 yards. On the year, he has a 220.4 quarterback rating and has completed 82.5% of his passes for 905 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Some are suggesting Oklahoma isn’t to be feared given who it has played. I would push back against that notion, though the SMU Mustangs put things on tape that Texas can use to stop the Sooners.

Oklahoma is proving to be a worthy opponent for Texas. This time, the Longhorns won’t be able to take the Sooners lightly.

Oklahoma Football Schedule Analysis: It’s going to be a fun start, but nothing all that bad that can’t be handled with relative ease. Beating Tulane and Western Carolina have to be easy, and the fun of Nebraska coming to town could go away fast if the former Big 8/Big 12 rival remains as mediocre as it’s been over the last several years.

There’s only one game in Norman, though, over the first four Big 12 games – that’s a bit misleading. The Texas game is obviously in Dallas, and the last road date is at Kansas. Two of the last four games are on the road, too, but there’s a week off in there, Iowa State is a home game, and OU only leaves the great state of Oklahoma once after October 23rd.

Oklahoma Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: The Sooners rip though this thing without breathing all that hard.

Of course that’s not how this is going to work, but there isn’t a problem with the non-conference schedule, the Sooners take care of Texas, and they roll through Iowa State and Oklahoma State in the final two games on the way to yet another Big 12 Championship appearance.

Oklahoma Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: Something goes wrong with a brain-cramp loss at Kansas State, and the College Football Playoff dreams go bye-bye early for the second year in a row with a loss to Texas.

There’s another loss or two along the way to not only miss out on the CFP, but dropping a few games – like against Iowa State, at Oklahoma State, or to TCU – make it the rare year without going to the Big 12 title game.
