Oklahoma had aspirations of a national title or Top 5 finish. They were not up to the task with four losses and a defense that allows 24.8 points per game (44th). The Sooners passing game has disappointed all year, too, 83rd in the nation in yards as sophomore QB Trevor Knight has 14 TDs and 9 picks. Knight will return from a three-game absence after injuring his neck against Baylor. They come off a heart breaking loss to rival Oklahoma State in the finale, 38-35 in OT, part of a 2-6 spread run. They face No. 17 Clemson, a team that has won eight of the last nine and nearly beat Florida State, losing 23-17 in OT. Clemson has a ferocious defense, sixth in the nation allowing 17.6 points per game and is No. 1 in yards allowed. Only one of the Tigers' past eight opponents has scored more than 20 points. Oklahoma's defense has been vulnerable against the pass, allowing an average of 272.7 yards to rank 115th out of 125 FBS schools. Clemson is 4-1 ATS at neutral sites and is the play. Play Clemson.
