With senior transfer Jalen Hurts under center, the Sooners offense has been on fire. The Oklahoma quarterback, who transferred from Alabama, leads the nation’s top-ranked offense. The team has put up more than 700 yards and scored 119 points through its first two contests. They are coming off a 70-14 win against South Dakota.
This marks Oklahoma’s first road game after beating Houston, 49-31, in the season opener. In his debut with Oklahoma, Hurts accounted for six total touchdowns. He threw for 332 yards and three scores, while also adding 176 rushing yards on 16 carries with three more touchdowns.
Last week for the first time in program history UCLA fell to San Diego State, 23-14, and lost, 24-14, to Cincinnati in the season opener. Those loses make it all the more difficult for UCLA to become bowl eligible in Chip Kelly’s second season as head coach. Kelly had a 3-9 record in his first year at the helm, making many followers and fans concerned.
One positive for UCLA is that quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson played well against Oklahoma last year, in which he made his debut as a true freshman on the road. He went 16-for-26 for 254 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions.
