No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners vs BYU Cougars: How to Watch, key players, weather forecast for gameday
The Oklahoma Sooners are set to travel to Provo, Utah, to take on the BYU Cougars for the one and only time as conference foes.
The Cougars hold a 2-0 lead over the Sooners all time. Both wins have been in neutral site games.
After starting 3-0, including a win over Arkansas, the Cougars have lost five of their last seven and three straight. Quarterback Kedon Slovis hasn’t played in the last two games and is questionable to play against the Sooners.
The Cougars have the No. 103 defense and the No. 123 offense in the country. The one thing they are good at is forcing turnovers. That’s something the Sooners struggled with in their two losses. BYU ranks No. 18 in the country in turnovers forced. They also rank No. 31 in turnover margin.
The game will be simple. The Sooners will win handily if they don’t turn the ball over or are heavily penalized. The weather could play a factor, so let’s take a look at some things you need to know about the game.
