Oklahoma’s home finale now has a kickoff time, and the Sooners will see Texas A&M in Norman on Nov. 21 at 11 a.m.
The matchup will air on ESPN, ABC or SEC Network. OU’s other home game this week is against Ole Miss, with that one set for 3:15 p.m. and scheduled for SEC Network.
The Sooners and Aggies have not played since 2012, when Texas A&M beat Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl. The last time the Aggies came to Norman was their final season in the Big 12, and OU won that meeting 41-25 on Nov. 5, 2011.
Oklahoma holds a 19-12 edge in the all-time series. Since Bob Stoops arrived in Norman in 1999, the Sooners are 11-3 against Texas A&M, a stretch that includes the 77-0 blowout in 2003.
OU enters the final three games of the regular season at 5-4 overall and 3-3 in SEC play after Saturday’s win over Florida in The Swamp.
Jason Witten’s first game calling plays as interim offensive coordinator was a solid one. Oklahoma put together three drives of 10 or more plays, including a 20-play march that effectively put the game away. The Sooners scored on three of their four first-half possessions, and the first two scoring drives were the first time since OU joined the SEC that the offense scored on its first two possessions of a conference game.
Texas A&M comes in at 4-5 overall and 1-5 in conference play after a 17-9 loss to South Carolina. Quarterback Marcel Reed has had a tougher follow-up to his 2025 season, completing 57.0% of his passes for 1,641 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Reed has also run for 206 yards on 80 carries, but he’s been sacked 17 times and lost 134 yards on those plays.
Before the Aggies visit Norman, they’ll host Tennessee this weekend. Oklahoma, meanwhile, will turn its attention to Mississippi before finishing the regular season at Missouri on Nov.
- The Tigers have split their two games with the Sooners since the old Big 8 rivals reunited in the same conference, with both teams protecting home field in those meetings.

Former Sooners Defender Hits Crushing NFL Setback In Rookie Year
Gracen Haltons first NFL season came to a painful halt when the rookie defensive tackle suffered a broken ankle in San Franciscos game against the Las Vegas Raiders. For Oklahoma fans still tracking former Sooners across the league, it was a tough reminder of how quickly a promising debut can change, especially for a young defender trying to carve out a role early in his pro career.
There was a brighter note elsewhere for another former Sooner defender, as Nik Bonitto helped the Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers by forcing a late fumble. And in a matchup that carried plenty of Oklahoma ties, Baker Mayfield and Caleb Williams faced off with Williams guiding the Chicago Bears to a 27-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [Read more 🡒]
Sooners Could Land An Early Recruiting Boost Fans Will Notice
A potential early recruiting spark is starting to take shape for Oklahoma as the Sooners wait on a few key 2028 names who could help shape the next wave of the roster. Kamieon Compton-Nero, one of the top prospects in Oklahoma, is expected to announce his college decision on Nov. 13, with Oklahoma in the mix alongside Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Alabama and SMU. For a program that always has to balance regional priorities with national competition, getting in early on a player like that matters.
The momentum does not stop there, either. Recruiting reports and insider predictions have Oklahoma projected to land edge rusher Keoni Snipes, a four-star recruit from Alabama, while the Sooners are also still battling for offensive tackle Lincoln Faalafi, another highly ranked 2028 prospect out of California. None of those decisions are final yet, but the combination of local interest, national reach and analyst buzz is the kind of early-cycle attention that can give fans a real reason to keep an eye on the recruiting trail.

Oklahoma May Need More Than A New OC This Offseason
Oklahomas offseason search is already taking shape around two of the most important jobs on the roster, with the Sooners needing a new offensive coordinator and a new starting quarterback after recent staff changes and eligibility issues. That combination has pushed the conversation beyond simply finding a play-caller and into the broader question of how the next offense will be built, especially after a previous package-deal approach with coordinators and quarterbacks did not deliver the way the program hoped.
Among the names tied to the opening are Mitch Dahlen at Oregon State, Kevin Decker at Memphis and Rob Ezell at Wake Forest, each with a quarterback connection and some level of offensive success attached to his background. For Oklahoma, the appeal is obvious: the next hire may need to bring more than a scheme, because the Sooners are looking for stability at the position that drives everything else, and the wrong pairing could leave them searching again before the plan ever has a chance to settle in.
