What is up, Sooner Nation!
I’m Casey Mallon, and you are now in a Sooner State of Mind!

This week, the Sooners take on the Tennessee Volunteers, and we’re breaking down everything you need to know heading into this SEC showdown in Knoxville. From Oklahoma’s relentless defense (29 sacks and 89 TFLs!) to an offense still searching for its rhythm under Ben Arbuckle, we’re talking about what needs to click for the Sooners to reclaim that Sooner Magic we saw a decade ago in Knoxville.

We’ll cover:
What Vol fans don’t know about Oklahoma football
The key areas OU must clean up — penalties, turnovers, and play-calling balance
Why Michael Fasusi and Ryan Fodji might be the future anchors of this O-line
Who could shine on Saturday — from Courtland Guillory’s lockdown coverage to Xavier Robinson’s breakout potential as OU looks to keep its playoff hopes alive

Can Brent Venables’ squad put together its most complete performance of the season? Or will another round of self-inflicted wounds keep the Sooners from the statement win they need?
