Oklahoma football supporters ignited as Pat McAfee delivers pre-Michigan rally
Saturday sees a highly anticipated clash between two undefeated teams, Oklahoma and Michigan, in Norman. The game has significant implications for both teams' conference title hopes, taking place on the Oklahoma campus where ESPN college football analyst Pat McAfee noted the strong college football atmosphere.
Both teams are trying to win their respective conferences after somewhat disappointing seasons in 2024. Oklahoma, in particular, struggled under coach Brent Venables, winning just six games last season. Venables, however, is optimistic about this year's team, particularly the offensive line.
Venables believes the experience of last season, including a win against Alabama, has transformed the offensive line. He expects his offensive line, led by right guard Febechi Nwaiwu, to improve in physicality, consistency, and leadership, setting a strong foundation for the team as they compete in their second SEC season in 2025.
Michigan, on the other hand, ended last season with a bowl win over Alabama. They are ranked no. 15 in the Associated Press College Football poll, while Oklahoma is ranked no. 18. Michigan also defeated Ohio State in 2024, adding to their impressive resume.
The game between these two schools is only the second time they have ever played in football. If Oklahoma wins on Saturday, it could set the tone for a successful season. The game is scheduled for 7:30 ET Saturday.
The game between Oklahoma and Michigan is a highly anticipated matchup, with both teams ranked in the Associated Press College Football poll. The teams made bowl games in 2024, but neither met expectations. Venables enters Saturday's game with pressure, but he is confident that his team is ready to rise to the occasion.
