OKLAHOMA SOONERS stun TENNESSEE in Knoxville with dominant run defense. Can they shock ALABAMA and secure a playoff berth?Brian Smith from Locked On the Portal joins John Williams and Jay Smith to break down the SOONERS' impressive road victory, where they held TENNESSEE to just 63 rushing yards—the lowest total in years for Josh Heupel's offense. The discussion covers quarterback JOHN MATEER's development, offensive line concerns despite allowing 20 sacks this season, and why XAVIER ROBINSON is the perfect weapon to exploit ALABAMA's struggling run defense. Smith boldly predicts an OKLAHOMA upset in Tuscaloosa, citing defensive coordinator KANE WOMACK's 3-3-5 scheme vulnerability. The crew also evaluates fan satisfaction with head coach BRENT VENABLES, analyzes the team's dramatic defensive improvements, and identifies critical portal needs including an elite wide receiver and pass-catching tight end.Discover why this OKLAHOMA SOONERS team could be the surprise story of the SEC season and what it takes to beat ALABAMA in their own stadium.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashWith DoorDash Streaks, you save every Saturday you order — stack it up all season and you could save up to $250.
