Sooner Season Opener Shifts to Friday | Oklahoma Sooners Football News
Oklahoma’s 2026 opener against UTEP jumps to Friday, Sept. 4, at 7 PM CT to dodge scorching heat — and it’s a smart move for players and fans alike. The Friday night slot gives the Sooners a full 24 hours to prep for their Week 2 showdown with Michigan on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff. While critics worry about clashes with high school games, history shows flexibility is possible — maybe even creating a three-day football weekend. It’s a bold, practical call that prioritizes comfort and strategy over tradition. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn…
