Oklahoma was decimated on defense mid year, and their star DL abandoned the team to "focus on the NFL draft".
At this point, NET-NET, how many starters that were out are still out, how many are back for the Auburn game, and how valuable are the players involved? Sometimes the backup is almost as good as the original starter, sometimes it is a huge drop off.
I see Oklahoma, in a dome, with that outstanding offense being difficult for Auburn to deal with despite Auburn's strong DL. They have not seen anything like it this year IMO.
BUT I wonder about Oklahoma's defense and it's strength and depth against the strong running game.
