Why Oklahoma can cover
Head coach Brent Venables stated on Monday that he expects quarterback Dillon Gabriel to play against the Horned Frogs after the redshirt senior left last week's 31-24 victory at BYU after one half with what has been reported as a head injury. Gabriel threw for 191 yards and a pair of touchdowns before exiting and ranks ninth in the nation with 3,260 passing yards and is tied for seventh with 27 TD tosses. His two scoring passes against the Cougars increased his career total to 122 and moved him past Ty Detmer and Aaron Murray for ninth place on the NCAA's all-time list.
If Gabriel is unavailable, the Sooners will turn to freshman Jackson Arnold, who was 5-of-9 for 33 yards and ran for 24 yards in the second half against BYU. The club also will rely on a rushing attack that features redshirt freshman Gavin Sawchuk and junior Tawee Walker. Sawchuk leads Oklahoma with 480 rushing yards and has run for five touchdowns, while Walker has gained 467 yards and scored six times on the ground. Seldom-used sophomore Jovantae Barnes also could be in the mix, as he rushed for 100 yards and two TDs against TCU last year. See which team to pick here.
Why TCU can cover
The Horned Frogs are looking to avoid their longest road losing streak since 2000 as they have dropped three straight away from home after winning the previous seven. Like the Sooners, TCU is one of the top offensive teams in the country as it is 14th in total offense (461.8 yards) and ninth in passing (309.3). The latter ranking is due in part to the play of quarterback Josh Hoover, who has been impressive since taking over for an injured Chandler Morris.
A redshirt freshman, Hoover has posted four 300-yard passing performances in five starts and eclipsed the 400-yard mark for the second time last week. He completed 24-of-29 pass attempts for 412 yards and a pair of touchdowns while also running for a score. Both of Hoover's TD tosses went to senior tight end Jared Wiley, who finished with seven catches for a career-high 178 yards. See which team to pick here.
