OU football soon can check off another from its list of major-college opponents that never have shared a field with the Sooners.
OU revealed last week that it will host Kent State on September 10, 2022. The Sooners and Flames never have played. In fact, Kent State will become just the fourth Mid-American Conference program to compete against OU.
The Sooners beat Akron 41-3 in 2015, Ball State 62-6 in 2011 and Bowling Green State 40-24 in 2004.
OU’s three games against the MAC are the fewest against any Division I-A conference. Although it’s close. The Sooners have played just four games against Sun Belt Conference teams, going 2-0 against both Louisiana-Monroe (2013, 2016) and Arkansas State (1992, 2000).
