After the Sooners' 47–32 victory against Oregon in the 2021 Alamo Bowl on Wednesday, former Sooners head coach Bob Stoops gave his blessing and passed the torch to newly hired Oklahoma football coach Brent Venables.
While giving his postgame remarks, Stoops called Venables to the stage and two switched headgear. Stoops gave his visor to Venables in exchange for is hat. Stoops' hat, however, might be worth more than him passing the torch into the future of the Sooners' program.
Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams tweeted his gratitude to Stoops for stepping in to coach the Sooners in the Alamo Bowl.
