Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma Key Player to Watch

  • Isaiah Sategna III, WR - Oklahoma Sooners

Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of First to Forde, I broke down why Oklahoma is one of my top five best bets for this weekend's college football slate:

Ole Miss runs the ball on 55.03% of their offensive plays, but it's going to be in trouble if it continues that strategy against an Oklahoma defense that has allowed 2.3 yards per carry this season, the second-best mark in college football.

Oklahoma's underrated defense is enough to deliver them the win and cover on their home field in this key SEC matchup.
