Oklahoma Sooners College Football Betting
It was a successful second season for head coach Brent Venables and the Oklahoma Sooners. OU went 10-2 after a rough 6-7 mark in 2022. Best of all, the Sooners defeated the hated Texas Longhorns in the Red River Shootout. Venables is looking better by the day compared to his predecessor, Lincoln Riley. Riley cut and ran for the USC Trojans at the end of 2021, only to fall flat on his face in a second-season collapse that may never be lived down. Oklahoma faces the dangerous Arizona Wildcats in the Alamo Bowl.

Oklahoma has one of the great traditions in the sport as traditional blue blood power. The Sooners have seven claimed national championships and 11 unclaimed nattys. They have won a whopping 50 conference titles.
Oklahoma holds the all-time record of 47 consecutive wins under the late great Bud Wilkinson. That is a streak that has never been seriously threatened. Just as impressive is that from 1946 to 1959, the Sooners went undefeated in conference games. Wilkinson won three national titles and 14 Big Eight championships in his College Football Hall of Fame career.
Barry Switzer was another coaching legend at Oklahoma. Like Wilkinson, Switzer won three national championships and 12 Big Eight titles. He is a College Football Hall of Famer too.
Bob Stoops won one national championship and ten Big 12 titles as OU head coach. Like Wilkinson and Switzer, he is in the College Football Hall of Fame.
With all its success, it's no surprise that Oklahoma has boasted some of the greatest players in college football history. Namely, Steve Owens, Greg Pruitt, Billy Sims, Josh Heupel, Jason White, Adrian Peterson, Sam Bradford, Baker Mayfield, and Kyler Murray are OU legends.
