Oklahoma Football vs. Army: Game preview, prediction and storylines

The last time the Oklahoma Sooners faced off against the Army Black Knights, JFK was in the White House, the legendary Bud Wilkinson was coaching at Oklahoma, Colorado went a perfect 9-0, and the average price for a new home was a whopping $2,770. The year was 1961, and clearly a lot has changed since then. Nowadays, $2,770 pays for about a month of rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Southern California.

As for the football programs of Army and Oklahoma, a lot has changed as well. When the teams played in 1961, both were former elite programs on a downward trend.
