OU football vs Michigan TV channel, odds, scouting report for Sooners-Wolverines

Here's a look at what you need to know ahead of OU football's Week 2 road game against Michigan on Saturday.

Oklahoma University football takes on Michigan at Michigan Stadium this Saturday at 11 a.m. CT. The Sooners, currently ranked ninth, will face the No. 16 Wolverines, who defeated Western Michigan 13-12 last week after a last-second 47-yard Hail Mary. In their Week 1 game, Oklahoma dominated UTEP, scoring on their first eight possessions while limiting the Miners to just 198 total yards.

Quarterback John Mateer showcased his skills, completing 11 of his 17 pass attempts for 225 yards, though he was removed late in the third quarter. Wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III contributed twice, including a 88-yard punt return touchdown and 215 all-purpose yards. The Sooners' defense shut down UTEP, and they are expected to continue this strong performance against a Michigan offense that had difficulty moving the ball in their previous matchup.

Michigan's defensive end John Henry Daley, a transfer from Utah, recorded only three tackles against Western Michigan but was an All-American for the Utes last season, amassing 48 tackles, 17.5 for loss, two forced fumbles, and a pass breakup. As a Chuck Bednarik Award semifinalist, Daley is a key player to watch for the Wolverines.

In contrast, Oklahoma coach Brent Venables played a significant role in preparing the Sooners' offense against Underwood last season, and he is likely to implement similar strategies once again. With its versatile offense and improved run game, Oklahoma presents a formidable challenge for Michigan.
