How Both Teams Got Here
Oklahoma is 1-1. The Sooners opened with a 51-0 shutout of UTEP, then lost 17-10 at No. 19 Michigan in a game where the offense never found any rhythm. Ten points in Ann Arbor is the number that has Oklahoma sitting 24th rather than in the top 15.
New Mexico is 2-0, both wins at home, including a 70-7 win over Mercyhurst in Week 2. The Lobos have not faced a Power Four opponent.
What to Watch
Oklahoma’s offense. Fifty one points against UTEP and ten against Michigan is the spread of outcomes that defines this team so far, and the honest read is somewhere in between. A big night in Norman would not settle much given the opponent, but another stalled performance would say the Michigan game was the truth.
New Mexico’s 70 point game came against a Division II program, so nothing on the Lobos’ résumé projects to a night game in Norman. The realistic goal is staying in it long enough to keep the crowd honest into the second half.
