The No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners head to Ann Arbor to face Michigan in a nonconference matchup this Saturday. Coach Venables aims to draw on his team’s experience from the 2025 season, during which the Sooners won all four of their true road games. Last year, that stretch included a victory over No. 4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The roster features significant player retention, with all 11 defensive starters returning from the previous season alongside several offensive veterans. The program faces a challenging road schedule this year that includes games at Georgia, Mississippi State, Florida, Missouri, and a neutral-site game against Texas. Venables cited the importance of composure and communication in loud environments as his team prepares for the atmosphere at Michigan Stadium.
