The Oklahoma Sooners host Kent State in Week 6, but all eyes are on sophomore QB Michael Hawkins Jr., who gets the start with John Mateer sidelined by a broken thumb. With some Sooner fans concerned about the offense under Hawkins, the big question is: Will he ease concerns with a splash performance before Texas?
Joining Jason Watkins (HOF College Football) are Kchris Griffin (Horns Down Podcast) and Chris Mason (Sooners 360) as they preview Oklahoma’s matchup, break down Hawkins’ outlook, and highlight two new faces — wideout Javonnie Gibson and cornerback Eli Bowen — making their first appearances in 2025.
Plus, we deliver our My Bookie Pick 5 Week 6 College Football Predictions across the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC, with Red River and Florida vs. Texas looming large.

- OU’s gameplan vs Kent State and avoiding a look-ahead slip
