Michigan commits, targets predict outcome between Wolverines vs. Oklahoma

After a 34-17 win over New Mexico, Michigan travels to Norman to take on the Oklahoma Sooners. College GameDay will be on hand and there will be plenty of national interest in this big-time Big Ten-SEC showdown between two programs that hope to reach the College Football Playoff in 2025.

The Wolverines are led by their freshman phenom Bryce Underwood, who threw for 251 yards and a score against the Lobos. Oklahoma went and hit the transfer portal hard and landed what could be a dynamic QB-RB duo. John Mateer, the Washington State transfer, had a nice debut last weekend, throwing for 392 yards, three TDs, and an interception.

Oklahoma may be favored in the game, but this one could go either way. I spoke with some Michigan commits and targets to see what they thought about the big game this Saturday.
