Western Carolina could be just what the doctor ordered for an Oklahoma football team that is looking to get well fast after being challenged right down to the wire by an inspired Tulane team that refused to lose last Saturday in the Sooners’ season opener.

When the Sooners and the Catamounts, an FCS school out of the Southern Conference, meet on Saturday night at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium it not only will be the first time the two schools have faced each in football, but in any sport.
