Week four is upon us and it’s the dawning of a new era for Oklahoma Football. The long-awaited SEC debut is here and will be an electric atmosphere in Norman. ESPN and ABC have rolled out the red carpet for Oklahoma’s introduction to their new conference, sending the “College GameDay” crew to Norman for the inaugural SEC showdown.
Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit, and Lee Corso will be live in Norman from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. to help set the stage for what should be an incredible matchup on the field. They’ll be joined by this week’s guest picker and country music sensation, Blake Shelton.
In addition to the top-15 matchup featuring a pair of former five-star quarterbacks, Saturday marks the return of the leader of the Oklahoma Sooners last national championship, Josh Heupel. Heupel established his legacy in Norman, leading the Sooners to their seventh national title, and was the catalyst for Oklahoma’s emergence as an offensive powerhouse.
The Oklahoma Sooners boast a formidable defense to go along with an emerging offense. It’s a team that’s getting healthy right on time, with key players like Nic Anderson, Branson Hickman, Tory Everett, Kendel Dolby, and Andrel Anthony set to return. On the other side, Tennessee will be without star offensive tackle Lance Heard, who was ruled out in Friday’s injury update.
Oklahoma vs. Tennessee doesn’t kick off until 6:30 p.m. CT Saturday evening, but there are several really intriguing games on the docket. Here are this week’s predictions from the “College GameDay” crew, including OU vs. Tennessee.
