Oklahoma is entering this game with a 1-0 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 2nd home game of the season as they are 1-0 in their home games this year. They won against the UTEP Miners in their last game at home 45-13. Dillon Gabriel started that game at QB and he completed 15/23 passes for 233 yards and 2 touchdowns. Eric Gray led the team in rushing with 102 yards on 16 rushing attempts. Marvin Mims led the team in receiving with 81 yards on 3 receptions. Billy Bowman led the defense in that game with 7 solo tackles and 2 assisted tackles. Reggie Grimes led the defense in sacks with 2.5 while Gentry Williams came away with the only interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have Oklahoma listed as a 33 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma had a very dominant performance over UTEP in their last game but they still allowed 13 points while only putting up 45. Their defense is a lot better than in previous years though as their new head coach was the defensive coordinator at Clemson for so many years and has really made it a point to make this one of the best defenses in the Big 12. They still have a great offense though and Dillon Gabriel is only going to grow in this offense as they play more games. Kent State just got blown out by Washington in their last game, failing to even cover the spread which was over 20 points, and they didn't move the ball very well in that game either. Washington has always been a good defensive program too, but they are going to run into the same problems here with this great defensive coach at Oklahoma. The points will come for Oklahoma and their offense in this game while the defense makes it hard for Kent State to score here. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma to cover the spread in this game.

“We want to put our guys in the best position to be successful so we went from Seattle to here, got in here and setting up camp in Tulsa. Going to be practicing here for the week and then when we get done with our Friday activities, we'll be heading over to Oklahoma City.” - Sean Lewis on his team getting ready for this big game.
