After the longest offseason in recent memory (both literally and figuratively), the Oklahoma Sooners have finally made it to the first Game Week of the 2020 college football season. Between the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the social turbulence unfolding around the nation, the past several months have provided OU’s program with a number of novel challenges. Despite all of that, Lincoln Riley and his team have maintained course.
This Saturday, Sept. 12, Oklahoma opens the season against the Missouri State Bears, led by head coach Bobby Petrino. On Tuesday, Riley made it clear that the Sooners would no longer be releasing coronavirus testing data to the public moving forward, citing a competitive advantage one way or another as the primary reason.
