Oklahoma coaches and players are preparing for a road game against Michigan at The Big House this weekend. Despite external criticism of the Wolverines following their Week 1 performance, the Sooners staff and roster have expressed respect for Michigan’s talent, physical play, and defensive personnel. Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables noted the challenge of competing against a program with significant home-field success, while offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle highlighted the scheme and motor of the Michigan defense. Former Michigan linebacker and current Oklahoma player Cole Sullivan noted the difficulty of the Wolverines' offensive scheme. The Sooners, who enter the matchup following a win against UTEP, are viewing the game as a significant test of their capabilities against an experienced team.
