What are the keys to victory against Oklahoma that you think are important, but aren't hearing a bunch about online or by the talking heads?

Mine is Tight End play. Do we use more 12 personnel sets and if we do, does this muddy up the game, or does it open up some one on one matches outside because OK loads the box...?

I imagine we’ll have a TE in on the left side a lot with Heard out.

I think we used 12 personnel on NC State because of the 335. Against Oklahoma I would think we spread them out more with 3 and 4 wide

Tennessee runs for 225 to 250 yards.

Nico plays mistake free,

The defense has at least 5 sacks,

Play mistake, free football.

Did you know Tennessee has not beat the top 10 opponent on the road since 2006. We beat Georgia that year in Athens. Not that today is a top 10 matchup, I just found this interesting

I still have reservations about the d-backs and linebackers. The linebackers were out of position several times on Kent St's short pass plays and some misdirection run plays, can't have this against better teams. So far the d-backs have not been call on much, because of the fierce pass rush. Better o-lines in the SEC could/will slow down this rush some. But we will see.

The best rushing attack OU has faced so far is Tulane. They average 165 yards per game, which is about half of what UT averages rushing. Houston averages about 111, and Temple averages 77.

Our D is still not being talked about enough. All the talking heads are talking about Nico vs this solid team on the rd, but Arnold is the same age and class as Nico and is facing one of the scariest front 7 in the nation imo.

Secondly, Brent runs the most complicated defense around with smoke and mirrors everywhere for pre-snap reads. That is the bigger talking point instead of Nico vs the stadium noise imo. We can limit som of it with our tempo, but it will still be the most tricky D Nico has faced as far as reads go.

Which team has kept the good, secret stuff under wraps ...BUT is bringing it out of the closet, today.
My secret key is who handles the new stuff better.
