The Oklahoma Sooners' chase for their eighth national championship in school history gets underway on Friday night when they take on the UTEP Miners. The Sooners are one of the winningest teams in college football, with the most conference championships all-time.
Oklahoma is coming off of a 10-3 season and College Football Playoff appearance. They return one of the better quarterbacks in college football, John Mateer, and a defense that will be among the nation's best. The Sooners are hoping to build on their success last year by getting their ground game going to supplement Mateer and their stout defense.
OU's first opportunity to put all of the offseason work on display comes when they welcome UTEP to town.
The Miners come in with a talented quarterback in E.J. Colson, but have a number of new pieces throughout their starting-22.
Can the Oklahoma Sooners start the season off on the right foot with a strong performance against the Miners? Here's how you can tune into the action on Friday night.

Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Friday, September 4
- Oklahoma 56, UTEP 0: The Oklahoma Sooners are going to make a point on Friday night. And that point is they've found a running game. The Sooners are going to run the ball and run it a lot, while also flashing their big-play passing attack. After the way the 2025 season ended, this team is on a mission in 2026. They know they have a team capable of winning at the highest levels in 2026, and their season-opening win over UTEP will be a statement, business-like performance for the Sooners. Look for Oklahoma to rush for over 250 yards and crack 50 points for the first time since the win over Maine in November of 2024.
