U40: It's a massive game in Norman. OU vs. Tennessee

Author: SoonerScoop.com September 19, 2024 Duration: 1:30:41
Usually during game weeks, you get a little worn out talking about the same things over and over. But not this week. This is the week you love to try and figure out exactly what we could see happen in the biggest matchup in college football this weekend. Or at least what everyone thinks is going to be the biggest matchup. OU's offense line? Uggh. Can it hold up? Can it protect Jackson Arnold? Can it help the run game? Who will be back? What will guys like Nic Anderson look like coming back? Will he be rusty? Should we temper our expectations? Is Branson Hickman going to be back? And will he hold up? Can the defense and the crowd get to Tennessee's young gun, Nico Iamaleava? Josh is here to update us on the recruiting weekend as well as what has been happening with Cortez Mills and Floyd Boucard, who recently decommitted. It's a huge weekend in Norman. Let us get you ready from the Campus Corner studios. And plenty of insight and talk about Josh Heupel and why Bob Stoops is wanting to sit out all media requests this week.
