Welcome back to another exciting edition of our 2020 Countdown to Kickoff series! Exactly three weeks from today, the Oklahoma Sooners will open the upcoming college football season against Missouri State. That said, I want to use this opportunity to take a closer look at an impressive run that spans three separate decades. I’m talking about OU’s active streak of playing in 21 consecutive bowl games!
One thing that can be said about Oklahoma is that it’s rarely gone through periods of mediocrity on the gridiron. Sure, there have been small stretches where the team was a bit tough to watch, but overall, the program has remained nationally relevant for most of its existence.
