Lincoln Riley is facing increased heat for his lackluster offense for 2021. At the beginning of the season, OU quarterback Spencer Rattler was touted for the Heisman Trophy. Instead, Rattler is getting booed by OU fans who want another quarterback. Last week the Sooners played at old nemesis Kansas State seeking double-revenge. Oklahoma escaped with a College Football betting win against the hard-fighting Wildcats. Following a blowout win over Texas Tech, Texas faced capable and motivated TCU. Head coach Steve Sarkisian is making an immediate impact. And that continued with a strong road win over the Horned Frogs.
