The Oklahoma Sooners are 2-1 on the season. Not where many thought they'd be three games in. Sure, they earned a win over New Mexico, but it wasn't the performance we were looking for from the offense. The offense isn't where many thought they'd be either. And yet, because of the defense, everything is still right there in front of them. But the Sooners have to find some answers and find them quickly.
Oklahoma begins the SEC slate this week when they make the trip to Athens to take on the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs. Since 2017, Kirby Smart's second year at the helm, the Bulldogs have lost just twice at home.
Oklahoma's College Football Playoff hopes hinge on the offense finding some answers. After the loss to Michigan, they don't have a lot of room for error.
