Game week has arrived in Norman, and Oklahoma’s opening-night depth chart could contain several surprises.

OUInsider publisher Brandon Drumm delivers the latest sourced Sooners team intel and predicts OU’s Week 1 lineup against UTEP. Could Lloyd Avant lead the running back rotation? Has Elijah Thomas earned a starting opportunity? Is true freshman Noah Best preparing to make Oklahoma offensive-line history?

The show also examines OU’s defensive depth, potential Week 1 breakout players, the latest developments surrounding four-star linebacker Jay Schell and why Oklahoma’s 2028 recruiting class could become one of the nation’s best.

The OUInsider Under the Visor Sooners Podcast is powered by Riverwind Casino and Jani-King.
