[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n And although that number seems reasonable, it could mean big trouble against a offensive powerhouse like Oklahoma.<\/p>\n And although the Sooners didn’t necessarily blow up the scoreboard on Saturday, Knight did throw three TDs, which was good enough outing against Louisiana-Monroe.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Oklahoma will need to improve its offensive punch against stronger teams, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see more of quarterback Blake Bell as the season wears on, maybe even as early as this weekend.<\/p>\n Defensively, OU had a good outing against ULM and its Sun Belt preseason offensive player of the year, surrendering just 166 total yards.<\/p>\n This has all the makings of a game that could go two ways.<\/p>\n The Sooners have a stingy defense, but they also have a inexperienced quarterback, that has shown promise and another waiting in the wings.<\/p>\n And even though West Virginia hasn’t looked really impressive defensively, 21 points is a lot to cover here.<\/p>\n I don’t see a lot of scoring, with a single mistake being the deciding factor in this one.<\/p>\n Oklahoma 28 \u2013 West Virginia 21<\/strong><\/p>\n [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" West Virginia vs Oklahoma NCAA Football Spread\/Handicapping The Oklahoma Sooners took the field for their season opener last Saturday under the direction of redshirt freshman Trevor Knight under center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":978,"featured_media":65726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[324,325,59959,766,770,1401,1337,5471,59960,59961],"class_list":["post-65711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-college-football-odds","tag-college-football-picks","tag-mountaineers-vs-sooners","tag-ncaa-football-lines","tag-ncaa-football-predictions","tag-oklahoma-sooners","tag-week-2","tag-west-virginia-mountaineers","tag-west-virginia-mountaineers-vs-oklahoma-sooners","tag-west-virginia-vs-oklahoma"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/978"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65711"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65711\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65789,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65711\/revisions\/65789"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
