On paper, this game could be a blowout. Tennessee has a young team that isn’t expected to contend for anything special in the SEC, and Oklahoma is one of the top contenders in the Big 12. The Sooners can’t think that way, though. This will be their first test after layups with Louisiana Tech and Tulsa, and the Volunteers are expected to be more competitive than they’ve been in recent years.
