Game of the week
No. 6 Tennessee (3-0) at No. 15 Oklahoma (3-0), 7:30 p.m. ET, Saturday, (ABC).
It’s the Sooners’ first Southeastern Conference game and the league opener for both teams. The Volunteers’ season has been a walk in the park so far, outscoring Chattanooga, NC State and Kent State by a combined 191- 13, an SEC-record margin through three games.
Tennessee coach Josh Heupel was the starting quarterback for Oklahoma’s 2000 national championship team, finishing second in the Heisman Trophy voting. He was also the Sooners’ offensive coordinator for four seasons starting in 2011.
The game features two talented young quarterbacks, Tennessee redshirt freshman Nico Iamaleava and Sooners sophomore Jackson Arnold. Iamaleava directs an offense that leads the nation in scoring (63.7 points per game) and ranks second in total yards (639.3 yards per game) and third in rushing (336.3). Dylan Sampson has powered a prolific ground game by rushing for nine touchdowns already.
