The Oklahoma Sooners quickly dispatched Lane Kiffin’s Florida Atlantic Owls in Saturday’s season opener, but will OU’s first matchup against a Power 5 opponent go as swimmingly? It’s not really reasonable to expect another 42-0 halftime advantage, but the UCLA Bruins didn’t exactly look like much of a threat in their 26-17 home loss to Cincinnati — particularly after losing starting QB Wilton Speight to a back injury.
The Sooners opened as a 29-point favorite in Vegas earlier today. However, this is a more physical team than the one Oklahoma saw in Norman this past weekend.
