Episode notes
Oklahoma Bears Disproportionate Pressure
- Oklahoma faces more pressure than Tennessee because expectations for Brent Venables were higher entering the season.
- A loss in Knoxville would severely damage Oklahoma's playoff hopes and fan patience in Norman.
Playoff Path Still Narrow For Oklahoma
- Oklahoma can still sneak into the playoff picture but must upset multiple ranked opponents and win out.
- Their losses so far leave a narrow path that requires consistent wins and considerable help elsewhere.

- Make them move up and down the field rather than allowing a balanced tempo attack.
