Now, the Sooners return home in Week 13 for another ground-shaking showdown against old rival Mizzou, with the teams kicking it off at noon ET on Saturday on ABC. That’s an 11 a.m. kickoff Norman time, and so passionate Oklahoma fans who already were going to have a hard time sleeping on Friday night will have even less time because of the early kickoff.
Now, throw in this chilling hype video that the Oklahoma football social media account dropped on Friday night and those sleepless Sooners fans will be that much more hard-pressed to get any shut eye on Friday night. The video is only 54 seconds, but that’s just enough time to get OU fanatics hyped up for a matchup that the Sooners need to win to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.
The hype video is titled “Belief” and that belief is what fans in Norman and all across the state are harboring right now in a team that is suddenly ranked 8th in the latest CFP rankings released on Tuesday night. Mizzou is ranked 22nd though, so the Tigers won’t be a pushover at all and want to spoil the party in Norman in Week 13.
