How to watch Oklahoma vs. Temple<\/h2>\n

Time: <\/strong>6 p.m. CT
Channel: <\/strong>ESPN, FuboTV<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(streaming)
Location: <\/strong>Gaylord Family \u2014 Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma<\/p>\n

Oklahoma returns a lot of talent on defense led by linebacker Danny Stutsman<\/a><\/strong> (104 tackles) and safety Billy Bowman<\/a><\/strong> (six INTs). What may define the season for the Sooners is how sophomore Jackson Arnold<\/a><\/strong> performs in his first season as starting quarterback. <\/p>\n

Arnold is a former five-star prospect who ranked as the No. 4 quarterback in the 2023 class according to the On3 Industry Ranking<\/a><\/strong>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma also brings back its second-leading receiver from last season and adds Purdue transfer Deion Burks<\/a><\/strong> to give Arnold a pair of dangerous weapons. This game should give them all an opportunity to gain some chemistry together before SEC play. <\/p>\n

Temple still looking to break through under Stan Drayton<\/h2>\n

Stan Drayton<\/a><\/strong> enters his third season as the Temple coach still looking to prove himself. He went 3-9 in each of his first two years at the helm and could be looking at a hot seat situation if he doesn\u2019t turn things around quickly. <\/p>\n

The Owls will have a new starting quarterback following the transfer of EJ Warner<\/a><\/strong>. They\u2019ve still yet to name a starter thus far in a three-man battle between Forrest Brock<\/a><\/strong>, Evan Simon<\/a><\/strong> and Tyler Douglas<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Temple added more than 40 players through the transfer portal this offseason, so it\u2019s going to a much different team than it was last year in several areas. That includes at running back, where Antwain Littleton<\/a><\/strong> transfers in from Maryland after rushing for 708 yards and nine touchdowns over three seasons with the Terrapins. <\/p>\n

It should be interesting to see how it all comes together for Drayton and the Owls in 2024, but it\u2019s highly unlikely they\u2019ll pull off a win here. Look for OU to get the ball rolling with a dominant victory at home.<\/p>\n
