The Oklahoma Sooners were forced to change their home kickoff against the Ole Miss Rebels in Week 11 by the SEC. For Week 12, the SEC is making another time change, but this time it will benefit Oklahoma.
The SEC announced on Sunday afternoon that OU and Texas A&M will now start at 2:45 p.m. CT for the Aggies first trip to Norman in more than a decade. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
The last time the Aggies made the trip to Norman, the Sooners won 41-25. Landry Jones threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns. Blake Bell ran for two touchdowns, and Roy Finch ran for 99 yards and a touchdown.
A matchup that was highly anticipated when it was announced after Oklahoma and Texas A&M both made the College Football Playoff in 2025, the two teams have
underperformed expectations after being ranked in the top 10 of the preseason polls.
After all of the uncertainty and the objection from the Oklahoma contingent about the change to Sunday, this move actually benefits the Sooners. Oklahoma will get a few more hours to prepare for the game, fans more time to tailgate, and it will give recruits more to get to campus.
