The Panthers will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 160 places lower in Oklahoma), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Hayes? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
