Analysis
-Temple is in a major rebuilding project this season; half of the 22 starters are new transfers
-offense will be hard-pressed to move the ball; new QB with a shuffled offensive line
-Owls defense was terrible in 2023, and they project to be just as bad or worse this season
-Oklahoma has moved to the SEC; non-conference games are important; expect a statement win
-offense will score at will; my projection has them for over 600 yards and over 50 points
-Sooners defensive strength is on the line; facing a running team; excellent matchup tonight
