Mark your calendars, sports enthusiasts! The highly anticipated OU football spring game is set to electrify fans on April 18th, as announced by OU officials on Wednesday. But here's where it gets intriguing... Will it be a traditional game or a repeat of last year's Crimson Combine? Only time will tell, as more details are yet to be unveiled.
The excitement doesn't stop there! Norman has been buzzing with news, starting with 10 former Sooners receiving invites to the NFL Draft Combine, and the recent hiring of LaMar Morgan, formerly of Michigan, as the new defensive backs coach. OU moved swiftly to fill the position after Jay Valai's departure for the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile, Molly Jacoby takes the reins as the director of recruiting, adding another layer of anticipation for the upcoming season.
The Sooners are riding high after an exceptional 2025 season, securing their second 10-win season under the leadership of head coach Brent Venables. This success earned them a spot in the prestigious 12-team College Football Playoff. Although the game against Alabama didn't go as planned, the team is determined to 'Run it back' in 2026, with many key players returning.
The future looks bright for OU, especially with the impressive 2027 recruiting class. And with Roger Denny stepping into the role of athletic director on February 15th, the goal is clear: to bring home national championship number 8. But will this new leadership deliver on its promise? And what impact will these changes have on the team's performance?
