No. 6 Tennessee is set to clash with No. 15 Oklahoma in a historic matchup as Oklahoma’s first conference game in the SEC. The game carries extra significance for both teams, as Tennessee aims to break into the SEC’s upper echelon and establish itself as a College Football Playoff contender. Tennessee, led by head coach Josh Heupel, has had a dominant start to the season, winning its first three games by an average of 59.3 points. Meanwhile, Oklahoma will look to make a statement in front of their home crowd after playing three top-10 teams on the road. The game marks Heupel’s return to Oklahoma, where he had a successful playing and coaching career. There is a notable connection between Heupel and Oklahoma’s defensive coordinator, Brent Venables. The matchup also features two highly touted quarterbacks from the 2023 recruiting class, Nico Iamaleava and Jackson Arnold. The game is expected to be a defensive battle, with Tennessee’s strong defensive line facing off against Oklahoma’s struggling offensive line.
