Oklahoma is also off to a 3-0 start to the season earning a blowout victory over Temple, a narrow victory over Houston and then pulled ahead late to earn a 15-point win over Tulane. The Sooners are off 2-1 against the spread so far this season with the over hitting once and the under hitting twice to this point in the season.

The week four matchup isn’t just Tennessee’s SEC opener but its the first SEC game for Oklahoma after officially joining the conference this summer. There’s an abundance of storylines around the game including the fact that Josh Heupel was the Sooners’ quarterback when they won the 2000 National Championship.

Heupel then began his coaching career at Oklahoma where he coached under Bob Stoops until his former head coach fired him following the 2014 season. Ten years later, Heupel returns to his alma mater for a top 15 showdown.

Kick off at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night. ABC is broadcasting the game.
