OU makes stunning call as entire campus pauses for historical playoff game

The Sooners continue to prove it really does just mean more in Oklahoma.

After earning hosting rights as the No. 8 seed in the College Football Playoff, the Sooners’ rematch with No. 9 Alabama between two college football icons got the biggest stage the first round of the playoff had to offer by getting the primetime Friday night slot on ABC for Dec. 19. Next, everything else in Oklahoma had to pause, at least for the day, for the historical game.
