The Oklahoma Sooners will host the Arkansas State Red Wolves to start their respective 2023 campaigns. Kickoff is scheduled at 12:00 p.m. ET on September 2nd at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Arkansas State finished last season ranked 25th in the nation in fourth down efficiency, having averaged 61.5% over the course of the season. Oklahoma, on the other hand, didn't do so hot: they were ranked 107th with 42.9%.
Arkansas State will be fighting an uphill battle on Saturday as the experts have pegged them as the 36-point underdog. They finished last season with a 7-5 record against the spread.
That disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for Arkansas State considering the team didn't win a single game as the underdog last year. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 12 games they played last year would have netted $869.38. Oklahoma will open their season as the favorite, and the team was 6-5 as such last season.
