I’m not going to break this all down because we know the Oklahoma Sooners are a very good football team but I thought it might be a good idea to see where the UConn Huskies compare to them statistically.
Right now, Oklahoma is favored by 17 points over the Huskies which is tied for the highest point spread among the 2010-11 college football bowl games with the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl between Boise State and Utah.
