Sooners on a roll, Fighting Irish up next
After Oklahoma’s 52-7 shellacking of the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday the Sooners advanced to No. 7 in the lastest Coaches Poll and No. 8 in the AP poll — setting the stage for a major showdown against the undefeated Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Norman this week.
The Notre Dame game will be at 7 pm, with ESPN’s College Gameday coming from the OU campus.
It will be the first visit to Norman for the Fighting Irish since 1966.
Oklahoma’s game against Kansas was highlighted by Landry Jones throwing for 291 yards and three touchdowns and the Sooner kicking game, which accounted for a kickoff return and a punt return for touchdowns in the same game for the first time in school history.
Justin Brown made up for a lost fumble on his previous punt return by running his next chance back 90 yards and diving at the pylon for the score.
