Can Oklahoma pass its first real test? Can Colorado and Notre Dame pull off upsets? Our college football experts break down the big Week 4 games.
Offensively, Oklahoma is certainly capable of producing the big play. Gabriel leads the conference in most passing categories and seems to have found a new favorite target in. It's still early, but the offensive line seems more consistent, and the running back rotation has proven to be productive, even if you would like to have the pecking order be a little more clear.
Equally, Venables appears to have things figured out defensively and the front seven in particular has impressed against the less-than-stellar competition they've faced so far. LBis an early leader for my favorite Big 12 defender to watch with the way he flies over the field and somehow finds the ball.
The improvement on that side of the ball makes it equally important for UC to convert its chances in the red zone. They were atrocious in that part of the field against the RedHawks and that contributed in a big way for that game getting to overtime when it should have been a 20-plus point win.
But beware: OU began the 2022 season in a very similar fashion, rushing out to a 3-0 record and blowing out opponents before suffering three straight losses in Venables' first year as head coach. While Oklahoma probably isn't a playoff contender and isn't even the favorite to win the Big 12 , it shouldn't have any issues on the road in Cincinnati.
The Bearcats are coming off a surprising loss, but want to make a good impression in their first conference game as a Big 12 member. Realistically, though, can Cincinnati's defense pile on enough pressure to keep OU's tempo under control? Its defense is allowing opposing teams to score just more than 20 points per game, but it also hasn't seen an offense like the Sooners yet, which could mean trouble.
