Unexpected Showdown: Sooners Face Off Against Former Star Teammate in High-Stakes Clash

Auburn vs. Oklahoma, 3:30 ET

It was another very good week for College Football. I’ve shared that I’ve struggled to get a winning streak going for baseball this season, but College Football has already given me a nice five-game winning streak, and we are now entering Week 4 of the season. There weren’t a ton of ranked matchups the past couple of weeks, but I’m ready for another one here. Today, we get a great matchup between Auburn and Oklahoma as the two ranked teams square off in Oklahoma.

Auburn has been very good to start their season. but I wouldn’t exactly describe their team as having faced very good opponents. They beat Baylor, a team that is fairly good, and they won that game convincingly. Baylor was able to put 24 points on the board, but Auburn scored 38. Then they faced Ball State, another decent but not great team. Auburn, returning home for this game, ended up coasting to a 39-point victory. Last week they played South Alabama in yet another warm-up game. This time, they took down the Jaguars 31-15, but honestly, I think it was a bit crazy that they even allowed that many points. Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold has been efficient, but not overly involved, throwing for 501 yards in three games and tossing four touchdowns. Running back Jeremiah Cobb has been more reliable for the Tigers with 314 yards and four touchdowns on just 46 carries. I’d expect a healthy dose of him here to try to attack the Sooners. It could be a big battle though, and their best bet will be to throw off the Oklahoma rhythm with some play action.
