NORMAN, Okla. — Josh Heupel leads No. 7 Tennessee football against No. 13 Oklahoma, where he led the Sooners to a national title as a Heisman runner-up quarterback but was fired as offensive coordinator.
Expect a wide range of emotions in Heupel’s homecoming, as Oklahoma (3-0) hosts its first ever SEC game against the Vols (3-0), the highest-scoring team in college football.
It’s also a showdown of former five-star quarterbacks — Tennessee’s Nico Iamaleava and Oklahoma’s Jackson Arnold.
