Inside the Matchup Michigan Oklahoma

Michigan heads into Week 2 ranked No. 14 after a 34-17 opening win over New Mexico, but the challenge ramps up quickly with a primetime trip to Norman to face No. 18 Oklahoma. It’s the first regular-season meeting between the two blue-bloods, though the Sooners won the 1976 Orange Bowl matchup, 14-6. Brent Venables, in his fourth season at OU, has his most balanced team yet, while Sherrone Moore and the Wolverines aim to prove they can win a hostile road test behind freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood.
