The Auburn Tigers travel to Norman to take on the Oklahoma Sooners in one of the most anticipated matchups of the college football weekend. With both teams scoring over 30 points per game, the stage is set for a true test of wills. Can Jackson Arnold lead Auburn past Brent Venables’ defense, or will Oklahoma’s balanced attack prove too much?

In this preview, we break down every angle: Auburn’s rushing dominance, Oklahoma’s dangerous passing game, and how Hugh Freeze’s playcalling will be tested against one of the toughest defenses in the country. Auburn has been explosive on the ground with over 300 rushing yards per game, but questions still linger about the passing attack. On the other side, Oklahoma quarterback John Mayer thrives under pressure, completing 57% of passes when blitzed — an elite mark.

Key players like Damari Alston, Jarquez Hunter, and Cam Coleman will need to step up for Auburn, while Venables’ defense looks to tighten up against a rushing attack they haven’t seen yet this season. With Auburn allowing just 14 points per game and Oklahoma giving up an absurdly low 6.3, something has to give.

The winner of this game will be in prime position to make the College Football Playoff. This is not just another matchup — this is the SEC vs the Big 12 on a collision course for national attention.
