The Oklahoma Sooners will face off against the UTEP Miners at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Oklahoma ended up 11-2 last year and capped things off with a win over the Oregon Ducks in the Alamo Bowl, so they are on the hunt for another strong season. UTEP was 7-6 last season and is coming off of a 31-13 defeat against the North Texas Mean Green on Saturday.
The Sooners are the favorite in this one, with an expected 31.5-point (!) margin of victory. It would take nothing short of a miracle for UTEP to pull off a win, but maybe they can at least keep Oklahoma from covering the spread.
