Oklahoma blasted Temple 42–3 at Lincoln Financial Field and now welcomes Auburn to Norman in a storyline matchup featuring Jackson Arnold's return. We break down John Mateer's 282 yards and 51-yard TD run, Torrey Blaylock's 100 and 2 TDs, Brent Venables' hungry, driven defense holding Temple to 26 rushing yards, the trick 2-point with Jaren Kanak, and special teams concerns. Then we preview OU vs Auburn: coaching edge with Venables/Arbuckle, how to defend Arnold and the QB run, tempo vs grind, home-field advantage, and our score predictions. Plus a fun segment: things we'd uninvent. Join the Den for real Sooners talk and SEC vibes.UNIVERSAL CTA (paste at end):
Oklahoma is back! OK, so that’s a bit premature, but programs have been declared resurrected based on less evidence. Seriously, though, when evaluating SEC teams after three weeks, who’s playing better than Oklahoma? Combine the Sooners’ stout defense with cool-handed transfer quarterback John Mateer, and they’re playing like the SEC's most balanced team. Speaking of good defenses, the way LSU’s is playing has Brian Kelly fired up – especially at reporters looking to throw stones at his team’s 3-0 start. On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams each rank their five-best teams in the SEC. It’s a difficult exercise. More than half the conference remains undefeated, and Tennessee showed a punch despite losing in overtime to Georgia. Later in the episode, an examination of just how dire the quarterback situation is at Texas with Arch Manning. Finally, Week 4 picks against the spread!
Jay Greeson, Chris Lee and Chase Robinson preview Auburn's road trip to Oklahoma. The game may be seen on ABC at 2:30 Central. Topics include: It's a rematch of Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold vs. his former team. Arnold has been a dynamic runner, but the Auburn passing attack has not gotten the ball to star receivers Cam Coleman and Eric Singleton Jr. to take advantage of their abilities to the degree the Tigers hoped. Auburn running back Jeremiah Cobb has run for 314 yards and six touchdowns. Auburn is turning it over on just 0.5% of snaps, and the Sooners have not gained a turnover yet. Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer has established himself as a Heisman Trophy candidate, rushing for 161 yards and four scores while throwing for 944 yards and five touchdowns, but also three interceptions. The Sooners have had trouble running the ball from the running back position, as Jadyn Ott has been a non-factor and Tory Blalock (166 yards, 3 TD) has become the main threat Mateer has rapport with tight end Jared Kanak (14 catches, 225 yards) and wide receiver Deion Burks (17 catches, 225 yards). Auburn's defense, led by Keyron Crawford, Keldric Faulk and Xavier Atkins, has been stingy, allowing just 14 points per game and 4.9 yards per play. Oklahoma's defense has been even better, giving up 6.3 points per game and 3.5 yards per play. Defensive stars for the Sooners include Kip Lewis, Gracen Halton, Samuel Omosigho and Taylor Wein. BY THE NUMBERS: OKLAHOMA OFFENSE: 33.7 ppg, 6.4 yards per play, 4.5 yards per rushing play, 8.2 yards per passing play, AUBURN DEFENSE: 14.0 ppg, 4.6 yards per play, 2.9 yards per rushing play, 6.0 yards per passing play, 27 stops for loss, 11 sacks, force turnovers 1.6% of snaps AUBURN OFFENSE: 37.0 ppg, 6.3 yards per play, 6.6 yards per rushing play, 5.8 yards per passing play OKLAHOMA DEFENSE: 6.3 ppg, 3.5 yards per play, 4.2 yards per rushing play, 2.8 yards per passing play, 26 stops for loss, 7 sacks, but has forced no turnovers.

In this episode, the OU Insider staff convenes to discuss #13 Oklahoma's game against Temple this weekend. The staff chats about the danger of a trap game, the latest on Sooners injuries, and what to expect in Philadelphia this Saturday.
Things Discussed: Story time with Craig: Where the name Sooners comes from: it's the guys who cheated to get to the land stolen from the Indians. Oklahoma: Ultraconservatism made it feel like they're not trying to win this game. Every time they got to a decision point they made the conservative call. They ran on 3rd & 6, got four yards, and kicked a field goal. They punted rather than give ZVADA a shot at a 55-yarder. They kicked (and missed) a FG with 3 minutes before the half on 4th & 2 instead of trying to end the half. You've got 7 guys on the LOS and the CBs are off: you have to take that. Probably going to be a blip: you have to have a lot of confidence in your defense to play the way Oklahoma did. Michigan's gameplan: do all the things you do with a freshman QB. Oklahoma's gameplan: take away all the things people do with a freshman QB. It felt like a Dantonio Quarters where they have a safety who only cares about your run game and our disjoined offensive gameplans from years past where we don't have a plan to deal with aggression. Defense: Every vet played worse than his norm. Didn't know how to fit their gaps vs a +1 run game. Brian: That's the +1 run game. They ran Mateer 19 times—that is going balls to the wall. PFF scores: We don't agree with them. Grades for OL: Crippen and Norton were okay, Efobi okay, Sprague 2 big bads, Gio was good until he got hurt, Z-Marsh is not ready—Klein was a big loss as a blocker. Underwood: worse on the review than we thought. He missed some early reads and then Oklahoma sped him up. Also had major fetters on from his coaching staff. Once they're more confident in what they're seeing they'll trust him more. He can't read a smash route right now, so it's a pickle. Disappointed with Chip: You're supposed to be the guy who Malzahns our offense. Sam: they're playing the 2023 Penn State game. Difference in that game was Michigan had the top two defenses in the country. But that 2nd defense is on the field: Benny, Guy, Moore, Hausmann: That's the 2nd team! Defense: Predictable response: put 12 personnel on the field and go 4-wide. Wink needs to learn he can get away with regular-ass nickel unless they have impact blocking TEs. When you're missing tackles and chips and have vets busting there's too much on them. "Too much" may have been Game 2 with injuries piling up at cornerback, Barham out for a half, and playing in Oklahoma.

In this week's episode Al Borges and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's offensive performance in its 24-13 loss to Oklahoma and the upcoming game against Central Michigan. Borges highlighted the need for better protection and communication among the offensive line and tight ends, noting the inexperience of the current players. Borges again praised Bryce Underwood's talent and long-term potential but pointed out his struggles versus the Sooners, scrambling unnecessarily at times, and not progressing reads at others. He later pointed out the unrelenting pressure Underwood began facing due to breakdowns on the offensive line. Borges highlighted the potential benefit of adding more quarterback runs to the offensive menu. He suggested the offensive line could benefit from utilizing more spread looks and zone runs. Borges also praised the jumbo package's effectiveness, but noted its limited use, and suggested its increased utilization as another possible adjustment. He set goals for the upcoming CMU game: 30+ points, 150-180 rushing yards, and 200 passing yards to get the offense back on track before the matchup with Nebraska.

Chris Lee and Blake Lovell discuss Oklahoma's road trip to Philadelphia to face Temple, which will host the Sooners at Lincoln Financial Field. The game will be shown on ESPN2 at 11 Central. Topics discussed include: Quarterback John Mateer leads the Southeastern Conference with 662 passing yards and also in total offense (760). Oklahoma needs more out of running back position, and particularly from Jayden Ott. The Sooners' defense has given up 3.3 and 5.1 ypp in wins over Illinois State and Michigan and is loaded in the front seven. Temple is a little better than it normally is. The Owls are 2-0 after beating UMass 42-10 and Howard 55-7. K.C. Keeler is a first-year coach at Temple; coached last two years at Sam Houston State. Offensive players to watch for Temple include quarterback Evan Simon (27-of-35, 422 yards, nine touchdowns and no interceptions) and running back Jay Ducker (29 carries, 219 yards, one touchdown). Is this a potential let-down spot for Oklahoma between an early kickoff in a large stadium with lots of empty seats and a big game ahead with Auburn following an emotional win over Michigan?
