Overview

• Oklahoma and Temple enter 2-0, meeting Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia for the Sooners’ first road game.
• The Sooners are coming off a 24-13 win over Michigan, with quarterback John Mateer totaling 344 yards and three touchdowns and emerging as a Heisman co-favorite, according to The Oklahoman.
• Temple under first-year coach K.C. Keeler has its best start since 2019, scoring 97 points and allowing 17 across two games.
• A hot-mic exchange at Oklahoma’s media availability derided Temple’s expected crowd, a slight Keeler says the Owls are using for motivation as attendance concerns persist.
• Oddsmakers list Oklahoma around a 21.5-point favorite and staff predictions from The Oklahoman and Yahoo’s Sooners Wire forecast a lopsided result, with Temple linebacker Cam’Ron Stewart highlighted as a key pass rusher with three sacks.
