Betting Analysis
Central Florida Knights Seek First Win in Big 12 Battle
The Central Florida Knights and Cincinnati Bearcats are the lone teams in the Big 12 without a win. After allowing just 12 points per game in their first three wins of the season, the Knights are allowing just shy of 44 points per game in losses to Kansas State, Baylor, and Kansas. Overall, the defense is 86th in the nation, allowing 28 points per game.
Offensively, Kobe Hudson is a big playmaker as the top receiver. He has caught 22 passes for 473 yards and 2 touchdowns. RJ Harvey is the leading running back for the Knights. He has carried the ball 89 times for 511 yards and 6 touchdowns.
Quarterback Timmy McClain has come in for the injured John Rhys Plumlee, who returned for just 7 passes in the loss at Kansas. The Knights are hopeful he can suit up in this game.
Central Florida has a home game against West Virginia coming up next before going on the road to take on Cincinnati following that. The Knights will finish the season with Oklahoma State, at Texas Tech, and then at home against Houston.
Sooners Eyeing Success: Dillion Gabriel and the Heisman Talk
The Sooners have their eyes on the prize. Dillion Gabriel continues to put up monster numbers and has been the talk of a Heisman candidate lately. Things are going well in Norman. But, a slip-up is always a potential outcome, and that’s what they are looking to avoid down the stretch.
Gabriel comes into the game with 1,878 yards passing, along with 16 touchdowns and two interceptions in six games.
The Sooners rank fourth in College Football in both passing yards and points per game. The Sooners are tossing for more than 341 yards per game, and scoring 45.2 points per game. The run game has been fine, with Tawee Walker anchoring the attack. Andrel Anthony is the top receiver but has just one touchdown on the season.
Oklahoma will play back-to-back road games following this game. The Sooners are at Kansas and then at Oklahoma State in two games they will have to be on their toes from start to finish. Oklahoma Sooners games are going to be must-watch as they try to get into the College Football playoff.
