Oh, OU fans, know you have been waiting for this. Following a 24-13 victory against visiting Michigan on Saturday night, go ahead and relive it.

That was the type of performance that OU had to have on a national stage. A little reminder of who this program is. And a little nudge nudge to say that 2024 is long gone.

Head coach Brent Venables earned one of the biggest, if not the biggest, victories in his four seasons leading the way in Norman.

Have some fun. Sit back, relax and take in the Sights & Sounds from SoonerScoop video editor Eddie Radosevich.

OU just might have something in 2025.

Brent Venables’ opening statement:

Sooner Nation, they were awesome. They really showed up tonight. They affected the game; that was a lot of fun to be a part of—the passion, the energy in the stadium, the locker room. A hard-fought victory. Didn’t play our best game and still won by a couple scores, so we’ll take that. I really felt like we, there’s a lot of the game we played really, really well and at time had an opportunity to really pull away but had some self-inflicted issues that kept things a little closer, but like a championship-style program that Michigan represents, they kept throwing haymakers as well.

But we’re super proud of our players and coaches figuring out, finding a way to win—won a really tough, good game where a lot of the statistically things we won. I know we were minus in the turnover margin, fantastic in the red zone; that’s a huge difference in the game, playing some elite-level defense—just a mindset. The mindset sets the tempo for everything, and really proud of the toughness that our guys played with on defense time and time again, turning them back.
