Oklahoma Form
Oklahoma head out on the road for the first time looking to build on a one-sided blowout in their season-opener.
The Sooners, who were bounced out of the playoffs in the first round by Alabama last season, entered the new campaign with their sights set on challenging for a national title.
Unsurprisingly they got off to a dominant start as they rolled over UTEP at home, winning 51-0.
Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer threw just 17 times on the day, with his 11 completions producing three touchdowns.
Lloyd Avant and Ben McCreary dominated on the ground as they combined for 119 yards and a touchdown, while five other players also contributed in the ground game.
Michigan Form
Michigan enter this matchup with a 1-0 record, but last weekend’s victory over Western Michigan was mired with controversy.
The Wolverines appeared to have suffered a shock 12-7 defeat to the Broncos when a last-gasp ‘Hail Mary’ attempt failed.
However, officials ruled that a visiting player was out of bounds when he made contact with the football, and ordered that one second be added back onto the clock.
Michigan attempted another desperate ‘Hail Mary’ in an attempt to snatch the victory, and this time they succeeded as JJ Buchanan hauled in Bryce Underwood’s 47-yard pass for the win.
Underwood went just 12/22 for 170 yards, one touchdown and one interception of the day, although he did also contribute 47 yards and a TD on the ground.
