Oklahoma football is planning most of the festivities that surround the game including a concert performance by Lee Brice, an opportunity to pose with Kyler Murray‘s Heisman Trophy, a punt-catching contest, an opportunity to call a play during the game and a chance to participate in Ceedee Lamb’s famous rock-paper-scissors end zone celebration.
Saturday temperatures in Norman are expected to be in the 30s with rain and a possibility of some winter weather, prompting the change from the university. Friday night forecasts call for temperatures in the 60s with little to no chance of precipitation.
“Naturally, our preference is to play on Saturday, but the weather was going to subject our fans to difficult conditions, and likely would have prevented many from attending,” said Vice President and Director of Athletics Joe Castiglione in a press release.
