I am predicting a 21-17 Sooners victory over Michigan, thanks to a fourth quarter defensive touchdown. The Wolverines will lead at halftime 14-7, but a strong second half from the Sooners defense holds them in their only red zone incursion late in the third quarter and Michigan must settle for a field goal.

Or not.

Predicting this game seems so foolish. It is only the second game of the year. And while Michigan’s true freshman QB will face his first big-time hostile college football crowd, he wasn’t selected the top high school recruit because he is a cowardly bum.

Actually I hope my score prediction is wrong. I don’t need a tight ballgame this early in the season. The Sooners have enough real difficult matchups later in the year (playing 6 more Top 25 teams), and I only see my cardiologist once every six months.
