When last we saw Oklahoma, it was melting down in a puzzling and painful College Football Playoff home loss to Alabama. You’re about to be seeing a lot more of Oklahoma over the next several weeks, but first, it has a warm-up date against a potentially plucky UTEP team. Scotty Walden is a fun young head coach with a program that’s now in the Mountain West. UTEP has a bunch of new starters on both sides of the ball, and its goal is to make Oklahoma battle-tested for what’s next.
Oklahoma vs UTEP: Quick Hits
At Michigan, New Mexico (who might win the Mountain West), at Georgia, Texas (in Dallas). That’s what Oklahoma has coming up next.
UTEP also has to go to Michigan, but first it plays Texas Southern in the home opener.
This is the sixth time these two have met. Oklahoma is 5-0, outscoring UTEP 248-41. A 24-7 win to open the 2012 season was the closest game.
How To Watch Oklahoma vs UTEP
Date: Friday, September 4, 2026 Game Time: 8:00 pm ET TV: SEC Network Location: Memorial Stadium, Norman, OK – CFN Week 1 Schedule, Predictions
Why UTEP Will Win
Oklahoma will certainly be looking ahead to Michigan. Of course it’ll want to come out hot after sitting on that Alabama loss for more than seven months, but if it’s not fully focused, UTEP’s defense should be just dangerous enough to keep this close. On the other side, Walden’s attack wants to go, go, go, and in this, the hope is to negate the Sooner pass rush a bit by cranking up the tempo. – UTEP 2026 Preview
Why Oklahoma Will Win
The UTEP lines are about to be mauled. Oklahoma’s defensive front has another great rotation that should get its DoorDash order in the Miner backfield. Be floored if UTEP nets anything close to 50 yards on the ground. On the other side, there won’t be any issues running the ball on the UTEP front four, but the Sooners will keep things balanced by turning quarterback John Mateer loose. – Oklahoma 2026 Preview
Oklahoma vs UTEP Prediction, Betting Lines
Oklahoma won’t care about running up the score, but it’ll naturally make this easy just by testing out all the offensive parts. UTEP was able to keep the Texas game last year from getting out of hand in a 27-10 loss, but that was an outlier. Even so, Oklahoma will get its work in, put up some points, and then get on the plane for Ann Arbor.
