How this oddball season will play out for the Sooners
The feeling in Norman is mixed. There are some with low expectations, coupled with a despair that the Sooners program has fallen into an abyss of mediocrity. There are others fixed on the QB battle, anxious that the wrong selection might cost Oklahoma a Big 12 Championship. And still, there are more who have thrown caution to the wind and exude the air of confidence or optimism that only September will bring each year.
So, how will the Sooners fare this year? How does the schedule play out? Following is my crystal ball, which is, admittedly, about as clear as the Washita River following a storm.
Sept. 5 – Akron at home. Let’s just skip the discussion on this. The Sooners will be 1-0 by 9 pm that night. Highlight of the game will be Cody Thomas’ start, although he throws 3 interceptions in the second half and Trevor Knight cleans up in the fourth quarter.
Sept. 12 – at Tennessee. Here is where the season gets interesting.
