To say this is an off year for the Red River Rivalry game between Oklahoma and Texas would be an understatement. The Sooners play Texas Saturday at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Kickoff is for 11 a.m. on FOX. Consider these factors: The Texas State Fair, which surrounds the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, has been…
Well, that didn’t take long. After opening the season with a 16-7 loss at Oklahoma State on Sept. 19, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane were looking forward to a little easier test at Arkansas State this past Saturday, however, it wasn’t to be. The football game scheduled for Sept. 26 in Jonesboro, Ark., was postponed due…
Chuba Hubbard and L.D. Brown each gained more than 100 yards rushing as Oklahoma State (2-0, 1-0 in the Big 12) won their Big 12 opener 17-13 over West Virginia in Stillwater. “It’s a very unusual season,” said OSU coach Mike Gundy. “The conditioning of the teams is unusual. The makeup and focus is different…
Oklahoma had four turnovers and Kansas State had none as the Wildcats upset formerly No. 3 Oklahoma 38-35 in Norman Saturday in front of only 22,000 fans. One more loss in the Big 12 and OU’s chance to win the Big 12 Conference would probably evaporate. And the loss to K-State could be very damaging…

Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler dazzled in his starting debut and the Sooners have a chance for revenge on Kansas State after losing to them in 2019.

The Big Ten Conference, which had postponed football until the spring, has changed course and will begin conference play on October 24. Each team will be scheduled to play eight conference games in eight weeks before the Big Ten Conference Championship on December 19. That means the Big Ten champion could get major consideration for…
Tulsa lost their best running back and Oklahoma State had to play a third-string freshman quarterback but the Cowboys hung on for a tough 16-7 win over the Golden Hurricane Saturday in Stillwater. Tulsa’s defense put the clamps on All American running back Chuba Hubbard, who was held to under 100 yards (35 yards in…
Oklahoma jumped up two spots to No. 3 in the Top 25 polls after a spectacular start for redshirt freshman Spencer Rattler in an easy 48-0 win over Missouri State.
