Oklahoma football: West Virginia poses biggest OU challenge to date

After posting two wins by seven or fewer points against Power Five nonconference opponents, the 2021 edition of Oklahoma football now heads into the Big 12 portion of the schedule.

The No. 4-ranked Sooners (3-0) host West Virginia under the lights on Saturday at a sold-out Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Oklahoma is 8-0 against West Virginia since 2012, when the Mountaineers became part of the Big 12 Conference. The Sooners are the only Big 12 team West Virginia has not beaten since joining the conference.

This will be Oklahoma’s fourth straight game at home to start the 2021 season, although the Tulane game to open the season was relocated to Norman in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida and the Sooners were not the designated home team.
