The upcoming Alamo Bowl is set to showcase a clash between two powerhouse offenses as No. 12 Oklahoma squares off against No. 14 Arizona, promising an exhilarating showdown.
Oklahoma enters the bowl game boasting the nation’s third-highest-scoring offense, averaging an impressive 43.2 points per game. Additionally, they rank fifth in total offense, averaging 502.4 yards per game. However, the Sooners will face a notable transformation as star quarterback Dillon Gabriel has transferred to Oregon, paving the way for five-star freshman Jackson Arnold to potentially make his inaugural collegiate start. Arnold has seen action in six games this season, exhibiting promise by throwing for 220 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing an impressive 75% completion rate.
On the flip side, the Arizona Wildcats flaunt their own high-powered offense, averaging 453.4 yards per game, an impressive 18th in the FBS rankings. Spearheading this formidable offense is freshman quarterback Noah Fifita, who took the reins as the starting quarterback in Week 5 and hasn’t looked back since. In a season finale against Arizona State, Fifita shattered school records by throwing for a staggering 527 yards and five touchdowns, underlining his prowess as a playmaker. Fueled by Fifita’s dynamic performances, the Wildcats closed out their regular season on a high note, securing victories in their final six games, including impressive wins against four ranked opponents.
For Arizona, this Alamo Bowl marks a significant return to postseason action, marking their first bowl appearance since 2017. Conversely, it’s business as usual for Oklahoma, as the Sooners are participating in a bowl game for an impressive 25th consecutive season, a testament to their consistent presence at the top tier of college football.
