Oklahoma sooners bowl games

Kick-off is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. Now going into the bowl season, both teams are squarely outside the top 10 with an opportunity to end their underwhelming campaigns on a relatively positive note. On the flipside, the Ducks could also be without head coach Mario Cristobal as he is expected to take over at Miami.

Now, as far as it concerns the upcoming contest, this will be the first time that the Sooners have played in the Alamo Bowl. Bob Stoops and Oklahoma were winners together again, just like old times. Kennedy Brooks ran for yards and three touchdowns, Caleb Williams passed for three more scores, and the 16th-ranked Sooners rode a dominant first half to a win over No.

The victory marked a brief and happy reunion for the coach and school he led to a national championship and 10 Big 12 titles from to Stoops was called off a golf course to come out of retirement to coach the bowl game after the abrupt departure of Lincoln Riley for USC.

More than anything, I appreciate the young people, the guys in the program, embraced me, were all-in and worked hard. Stoops earned career win No. Getting the latest victory was maybe the easiest part in all this. Just as important were the tasks of steadying the program after Riley's bolt west turned it upside down.

And Stoops had to build a stable bridge to the new era under incoming coach Brent Venables, his former Oklahoma assistant who has spent the past nine seasons at Clemson. The coach who once earned the nickname Big Game Bob also turned into Big Hug Bob when he got to embrace son and Sooners wide receiver Drake Stoops after a second-quarter touchdown catch. Drake walked on at Oklahoma in after Bob had retired.
