OU football notebook: Rickey Dixon benefit scheduled Saturday night

During Saturday's Oklahoma-West Virginia game, the Sooners' 1985 national championship team will be honored.

The group of players on hand will include Rickey Dixon, one of the defensive stars on that team.

Saturday night, there will be a fundraiser for Dixon at Sooner Legends Inn & Suites in Norman.

Two years ago, Dixon was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Fans can get autographs from former OU players and coaches in the event to raise money for Dixon and his family.

Legendary coach Barry Switzer will sign items for $20 each, former players Joe Washington, Steve Owens, Billy Sims and Jason White will sign for $10 each and a large group of other former Sooners will sign for $5.
