Oklahoma football: The ‘U” was Oklahoma’s kryptonite in the mid-1980s

During that three-year span, the Sooners won 33 games and lost only three times. All three losses were against the University of Miami.

The Hurricanes are one of a very select group of college teams that have played Oklahoma more than five times in football and have a winning record against the Sooners. Miami is 4-3 all-time against Oklahoma, and three of those four victories were against Switzer.

Switzer also defeated Miami twice (in 1973 and again in 1975), but both wins were by four or fewer points.

Oklahoma held a 2-0 lead in the series when Miami traveled to Norman, Oklahoma, in October of 1985 to take on Switzer’s No.
