Oklahoma vs. Michigan Predictions: SEC Football Week 2

Jay Greeson, Chris Lee and Chase Robinson preview Michigan’s road trip to Oklahoma, a game shown on Saturday night on ABC at 6:30 Central. FanDuel favors Oklahoma by 6 1/2 points as of Monday morning, with an over-under of 46 1/2. Topics in the preview include: Oklahoma’s John Matteer was everything the Sooners hoped in a 35-3 win over Illinois State, going 30-for-37 with 392 passing yards, one interception and one touchdown. Matteer’s favorite target was Southern Illinois transfer Keontez Lewis, who caught nine balls for 119 yards and two scores. Running back Jadyn Ott, hampered with injuries in fall camp, carried the ball just once for three yards, but should have a bigger role this week. The Wolverines won a closer-than-it-should-have-been game with New Mexico by a 34-17 score in the opener. However, the score was a bit deceiving as Michigan out-gained the Lobos 7.2 yards per play to 3.6. Michigan’s defense is loaded with pro prospects, including edge Derek Moore and DL Rayshawn Benny, who are potential top-2-round picks in the coming draft. Michigan cornerback Jyaire Hill a top-four-round prospect too, and safeties TJ Metcalfe and Rod Moore are also draft-able prospects Michigan linebacker Jaishawn Barham, a preseason first team all-Big 10 pick, did play but recorded no stats as he was ejected for targeting. His appeal was denied, meaning, he’ll miss the first half of this game. Michigan linebacker Ernest Hausmann led the team with 8 tackles vs. New Mexico. He was Phil Steele’s pick on his preseason 2nd-team all-Big 10 team. Wolverines' coach Sherrone Moore will coach this one, and will serve his two-game, NCAA-mandated suspension later in September. Michigan’s offense is led by talented freshman Bryce Underwood, who’ll have his first road test as a collegiate. Alabama transfer Justice Haynes was Michigan’s offensive MVP last week, rushing 15 times for 159 yards and three touchdowns. The Sooners are stout in the trenches with R Mason Thomas, Gracen Halton, David Stone and others leading a very talented front seven.
