It's almost football time in Oklahoma as the Sooners look to make it two in a row, welcoming the No. 17 Kentucky Wildcats (US LBM Coaches Poll) to Owen Field for this Week 7 SEC contest. Though the Sooners are unranked, they enter as the favorite.
But Oklahoma still has a lot to prove on offense, and this week gives the Sooners a shot. Kentucky ranks outside the top 100 in scoring defense and pass defense, and ranks No. 11 in the SEC in rushing yards allowed. But can the Sooners capitalize?
OU has struggled to move the ball for much of the season, which led to their loss to Michigan. Turnovers against Georgia took away any chance of Oklahoma making a comeback. Against Texas, however, the Sooners played a clean game and won the turnover battle.
If the Sooners can play a similar game offensively and move the ball on the ground, they'll have a shot at taking care of business at home on Saturday night.

- Oklahoma 20, Kentucky 13: This is an interesting matchup for the Oklahoma Sooners. The offense hasn't been very good, but Kentucky's defense presents an opportunity for John Mateer and the OU offense to get right. The Sooners found something on the ground against Texas in the second half and find a way to carry that over against a Kentucky team that ranks 11th in the SEC against the run in 2026.
