NORMAN — OU officially released its 2021 non-conference schedule Monday.
Though the schedule is as expected, here's three takeaways from the trio of non-conference games:
1. Game of the Century anniversary celebration
The Sooners will play Nebraska for the first time since the 2010 Big 12 Championship Game and host the Cornhuskers for the first time since 2008.
Nebraska will visit Norman on Sept. 18. The series renewal comes 50 years after the Nov. 25, 1971 "Game of the Century" game where the No. 1 Cornhuskers beat No. 2 Oklahoma 35-31.
The Sooners and Cornhuskers rank first and second nationally in league championships, with OU winning 50 and Nebraska 46.
