Kyle Whittingham on Oklahoma: 'We've got our work cut out for us'

Kyle Whittingham praised Oklahoma's talent and says Michigan has its work cut out against the Sooners.

The upcoming Week 2 college football matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners and Michigan Wolverines promises to be a challenging one for Whittingham and the Wolverines. With their dominant performances in previous games, Oklahoma enters this game as one of the most formidable teams in the sport. Whittingham acknowledges the talent and skill set of Oklahoma's roster, citing their strong defensive line, game-breaking quarterback, and versatile receiver.

He emphasizes that Michigan will face a tough challenge on Saturday, stating that they have "got our work cut out for us." This game marks the Sooners' return to Ann Arbor for the first time since their 1975 national championship victory, while Michigan seeks to prove that their Week 1 performance was an anomaly. The highly anticipated contest will take place at 11:00 a.m. CT on Fox as part of the Big Noon Kickoff.
