For the first time in the 2025 college football season, Brent Venables and the Oklahoma Sooners actually need a win.
The No. 14 Sooners will take their first SEC road trip of the season to South Carolina at 11:45 a.m. CT Saturday after coming off their first loss of the campaign against Texas last week.
Score prediction for Oklahoma vs. South Carolina
The loss to Texas cranked up the intensity for the Sooners to maintain their status as College Football Playoff contenders and also the heat of Venables’ seat. But with their backs against the wall before five games in a row against ranked opponents, the Sooners should do what they need to do in South Carolina against the last unranked team left on their schedule.
