WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION!
Casey Mallon here, and you are locked into another episode of Sooner State of Mind! The Oklahoma Sooners are coming off one of the most satisfying wins in recent memory — a 24–13 victory over the Michigan Wolverines. From John Mateer’s Baker-like grit to Jaren Kanak’s Stoops-style energy, this game had everything: hustle plays, punishing blocks, highlight catches, and a defense that suffocated Bryce Underwood all night long.

I’ll break down every moment that mattered — from Mateer’s clutch start-and-stop runs to Barnes’ punishing blocks, Sategna’s hustle plays, and Owen Heinecke flashing as a defensive enforcer. Plus, we’ll talk about what this OU defense is becoming, why this team feels different, and how the mental toughness of the Sooners is setting the stage for a special season.

Then, we turn the page to the next challenge: OU hits the road to face Temple at The Linc. Can the Sooners avoid the dreaded “trap game” before Auburn rolls into Norman? We’ll scout the Owls, break down their offensive weapons, and discuss what Brent Venables’ squad needs to do to stay sharp.

And because this is Sooner State of Mind, we’ll also dive into the biggest Week 3 college football matchups:

#6 Georgia at #15 Tennessee – Can the Vols finally snap their skid vs. the Dawgs?

#18 USF at #5 Miami – Are the Bulls for real after knocking off two ranked opponents?

Florida at #3 LSU – Is the heat on Billy Napier about to boil over?

#16 Texas A&M at #8 Notre Dame – Will the Aggies flip the script in South Bend?

Vanderbilt at #11 South Carolina – Can Shane Beamer’s squad avoid an early season landmine?

It’s all here — Sooners, SEC battles, playoff implications, and the kind of passion that only college football delivers.
