Oklahoma football history spans 126 years. Florida has been playing varsity football for 115 years. Yet these two elite college programs have played each other just once over that time span.
That one time occurred 12 years ago this time of year when Oklahoma and Florida met in the 2009 BCS National Championship game held at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
