Tennessee is 2-3 all-time against Oklahoma on the gridiron. This past season, the Vols went on the road to Norman and claimed a 25-15 win. This was a homecoming of sorts for UT coach Josh Heupel, who was a national champion quarterback for the Sooners and a longtime assistant coach.
Now, his former school will head to his new home with revenge on the table. Oklahoma now boasts a new quarterback in John Mateer, who transfers in from Washington State. Cal running back Jaydn Ott will join him in the backfield as a notable addition.
It will be the first time Tennessee has hosted Oklahoma since 2015. The Vols welcomed Baker Mayfield and company to Knoxville by ‘checkering’ Neyland Stadium. Despite a strong start, Tennessee lost that game 31-24 in double overtime.
In 2014, the Vols lost 34-10 on the road. 1967 saw Tennessee lose in the Orange Bowl 26-24. UT won the Orange Bowl over OU 17-0 in 1938.
