AUBURN, Ala. — After a loss to Tennessee that was more disappointing in how it happened vs. that it happened, the now 18th-ranked Sooners hit the road for the first time this season.
OU will take on Auburn at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The Sooners are narrow favorites in the game, but with OU’s offense struggling and Auburn’s putting up points but failing to protect the ball, most anything could go when the two face off.
The Oklahoman’s staff predictions reflect the different directions the game could take:
