The NCAA season is finally here and after a busy Saturday of college football, we have one game taking place on Sunday.
In this game the Houston Cougars make the trip to Norman to take on the Oklahoma Sooners.
Houston Cougars
The Houston Cougars have a new head coach in charge of the team with Dana Holgorsen coming over from the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Last season for the Cougars it was all about the offense and the good news is they have quarterback D’Eriq King back in the fold.
King could get it done with his his feet and his arm and they are going to need him to be good at both in this game. Last season he threw for 2,982 yards and 36 touchdowns while also rushing for another 674 yards and 14 touchdowns.
On the defensive side they lost Ed Oliver and outside him the defense didn’t do much giving up almost 40 points per game.
In this game the defense needs to find a way to at least slow down the Sooners offense. They aren’t going to stop it, but they need to tat least make life hard.
Oklahoma Sooners
On the other side of this matchup is the Oklahoma Sooners who lost Kyler Murray but have brought in Jalen Hurts and hope they don’t miss a step.

Hurt is a duel threat quarterback, and there is no doubt the team is going to try and run an offense similar to what they ran last year.
On the defensive side this team isn’t great, but they have done enough to keep them in games, and the offense gets it done.
In this game if the defense can create a few turnovers that would go a long way in them winning this game by a comfortable margin.

There is no doubt that the Sooners are the better team, but I don’t think they are going to win this game in blowout fashion.
