Oklahoma Isn’t Very Good
Oklahoma isn’t very good and now they have another tough game here. In the last game against Texas, Oklahoma scored only three points, while the defense gave up 34 points and that led to the blowout defeat. A few weeks ago Oklahoma made the quarterback to Michael Hawkins and in the last game he completed 19 of his 30 passes for 148 yards. Oklahoma sits with a 4-2 record overall but still with that record, they might not be that good.
Oklahoma on the season is averaging 24.3 points while their defense is giving up 19 points per game. The quarterback position hasn’t been good and they are going to need the defense to be a whole lot better here.
South Carolina Fell Just Short
South Carolina in the last game faced off against Alabama and they were almost able to pull off the big upset but ended up falling just short. The offense scored 25 points but the defense gave up 27 points. LaNorris Sellers at times makes the young quarterback mistakes, but he’s clearly improving. In the last game, Sellers completed 23 of his 31 passes for 238 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.
South Carolina is averaging 27.5 points, while their defense is giving up 20.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 76th in the league while the defense is giving up 38th in the league. In this game, South Carolina’s defense is going to need to be good here.
