Week One: Oklahoma vs. Utah State Aggies
Cancel your plans for the next three months, folks. Oklahoma football starts Saturday at 6 pm at Owen Field.
That’s when the Sooners are expected to win their 800th game in school history. The only schools in the 800-win club are Michigan (877), Texas (845) Notre Dame (837), Nebraska (827), Ohio State (819) and Penn State (811).
The poor victim of this landmark achievement will be the Aggies of Utah State, which is a Western Athletic Conference team that may soon be a Mountain West team, as if that really matters. The Utah State team has been in three different conferences since 1978 (Big West, Sun Belt and WAC) and a few years as an independent.
The Aggies are better than in past years, with some of their faithful actually talking about going bowling this year. But still, they should be no match for No. 8 Oklahoma in Norman.
