Tennessee vs. Oklahoma Predictions
Tennessee 41, Oklahoma 24: “While Oklahoma is clearly the best team Tennessee has had in 2024, I believe in what I’ve seen from the Vols. They go into a hostile environment led by a freshman quarterback and come out not only as SEC title contenders, but as national championship contenders.” – Colin Lynch of College Football Network
Tennessee 34, Oklahoma 20: “OU’s offense has gone through a stretch of at least four consecutive drives without a touchdown in each game this season. That can’t happen Saturday if it wants to keep up with quarterback Nico Iamaleava and the Volunteerswho ranks first in the country in points per game (63.7). Receiver Nic Anderson could make his debut for the Sooners, and that would be a huge boost. But OU still doesn’t have much of a running game, and its undermanned offensive line will struggle to hold off an elite Tennessee defensive line led by James Pearce Jr. The Volunteers will come out on top in this game.” – Justin Martinez from Oklahoma
Tennessee 34, Oklahoma 20: “The deciding game will likely be the Vols’ intimidating defense against Oklahoma’s revamped but depleted offensive line. I can’t imagine the Sooners overcoming that.” – John Adams of the Knoxville News Sentinel
