BOOMER SOONER heads to South Bend as the REDEEM Team as they take on the Fightin' IRISH of N.D....Who will play better...BLAKE BELL or TOMMY REES?...FALL SATURDAY's in South Bend with the IRISH #OKvsND

Last Season in Norman, Oklahoma the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish shocked the then undefeated Sooners who had a veteran ball club led by current Steelers QB Landry Jones among others. Now it's Irish QB Tommy Rees' turn to give "Boomer Sooner" an "L" as the Sooners play on the road looking for a little retribution and to to leave South Bend being called the Redeem Team.

Note: Rankings from AP Poll

Oklahoma Sooners QB Blake Bell has played well but is he ready to take on the Irish in South Bend in an hostile environment? Bell will use his legs as well as Running Backs Brennan Clay and Damien Williams. The Sooners will also have to be balanced to get a "W" in South Bend as the Sooners Air Attack has been solid under Bell. The Sooners must pay big attention to Notre Dame's D-Lineman in Stephon Tuitt and Louis Nix III. Sooner Center Gabe Ikard an All-Big 12 Pre Season Selection will be responsible for leading the charge upfront.  They control the Middle and free up those Irish Backers to make plays all over the Field.

The Irish have thrown for a lot of yards as QB Tommy Rees has already thrown for over 1,100 yards.  He has two fine targets in DaVaris Daniels and TJ Jones as they both have over 300 yards receiving on the season. Can that Sooner Secondary hold up and that Front get pressure on Rees? Look for Sooners Aaron Colvin their Top DB to have a hand in Irish Business when they go to the air.

It will be won in the Trenches as the Irish dominated the game in 2012 along the fronts. Overall speed might go to the Sooners as overall power to the Irish as it will come down to Turnover Margin as well.

Winner: Boomer SOONER 27-23....Blake Bell uses his legs and that's the difference...
