Oklahoma prepares to face Michigan in Ann Arbor this Saturday

Oklahoma travels to Ann Arbor for a noon kickoff on September 12 to face Michigan. The Sooners, currently ranked No. 10, enter the game following a victory over Michigan in 2025. Michigan, now ranked No. 24, struggled in its season opener, requiring a final-play touchdown to secure a 13-12 win against Western Michigan. Oklahoma coach Brent Venables noted the difficulty of playing at Michigan Stadium and acknowledged the strength of the Michigan roster. Oklahoma linebacker Cole Sullivan, who transferred from Michigan, will participate in the matchup. Coaches Brent Venables and Kyle Whittingham have a professional history, with Venables previously observing the Utah program to study their defensive systems. Despite Michigan’s offensive performance in the opener, Oklahoma staff characterized the Michigan defense as a physical and disciplined unit.
