Oklahoma v. Louisiana Tech

Oklahoma took the Big Gold Trophy in the last game of the regular season last year, with a stirring upset of rivals Oklahoma State.  Then the Sooners pounded Alabama in the Sugar Bowl to keep the trophy.  Now they get to open the 2014 season with what should be a few relatively easy games, the first of which is today's home opener against LaTech.  These two schools have never met, but LaTech won only four games last year and Oklahoma is 71-3 at home against unranked foes since Bob Stoops became their coach.  Vegas has installed the Sooners as 35-point favorites, and that seems low to me.
