Sooners Invade the Big House | Oklahoma-Michigan Preview

Sooner Nation, it’s time for a BIG one. The Oklahoma Sooners are heading into the Big House for a massive showdown with the Michigan Wolverines, and on this episode of Sooner State of Mind, Casey Mallon is breaking down everything you need to know before kickoff. Joining the show is Jared Stormer, host of Out of the Blue: A Michigan Sports Podcast, to give us the Wolverines’ perspective. We dive into the beginning of the Kyle Whittingham era at Michigan, the Wolverines’ wild 13-12 season-opening escape, a defense that held Western Michigan to just 221 total yards, and the major questions surrounding Bryce Underwood and Michigan’s struggling offense. Could Whittingham actually make a quarterback change if Underwood struggles? Who are the Michigan defenders Oklahoma fans need to know? And after last year’s battle between these two programs, how does Jared see Saturday playing out? Then it’s all Sooners. We’ve got encouraging news along the offensive line with Jake Maikkula and Ryan Fodje back at full speed, but concern remains surrounding Michael Fasusi’s availability. Casey explains why Oklahoma needs to establish the running game, why we could see more of John Mateer’s legs, and how a fast start could turn the Big House into the Big Quiet House. The Sooners dropped to No. 11 despite a 51-0 win — maybe that’s exactly the motivation this team needs. We also hit some of Saturday’s biggest games, including Missouri-Kansas, Oregon-Oklahoma State, Arizona State-Texas A&M, Iowa State-Iowa, and Ohio State-Texas. And finally, some love for one of the most beloved Sooners ever: Baker Mayfield just got PAID, signing a massive three-year, $165 million extension. Baker now has 165 million reasons to be completely gruntled. Michigan. Oklahoma. The Big House. A huge early-season test. Play clean Sooner football, silence 100,000-plus Wolverines fans, and come home 2-0. BOOMER SOONER!
