It’s a game that’s created some legendary moments in the history of college football. The Game of the Century Josh Norman’s blocked field goal in 2000 that gave OU the momentum to go on and win the game during a magical run to the 2000 national championship.
Keith Jackson’s one handed catch in 1986 put the Oklahoma Sooners in position to kick a game-winning field goal to beat the Cornhuskers and win another Big 8 championship.
Just last year, DJ Graham’s one-handed interception and Pat Fields blocked PAT return for two points were great moments in a game celebrating the 50-year anniversary of the Game of the Century.
Though Nebraska comes into this game with a couple of losses, and far from the program that was dominant in the 1980s and 1990s, the atmosphere and the environment of this renewed rivalry will create more incredible moments in one of the storied rivalries in college football.
As we gear up for kickoff, let’s check in on Sooner Nation and see what they have to say ahead of the Sooners first road test of the season.
“Nebraska Cornhuskers man we diminish”

it’s only right we start this game day with the Malcom Kelly freestyle or as I refer to it, OU Football’s anthem! 🔥🙌😎
