PREDICTION: Knights Announce First BIG 12 Season

DG and OU had rough (6-7) year in 2022, which ended in Orlando with a soul-crushing (35-32) defeat at the hands of Florida State, but remains a potently talented team. Emotions will be high at Owen Field, and Gabriel will want this win against his old program.
