February 05, 2007 | Football

NORMAN, Okla. -- For the second straight year, ESPN will televise Oklahoma's Red/White Spring Game live. The game is set for 1 p.m., on Saturday, April 7.
 
The cable network is yet to assign the announcers for the game.
 
The visit marks the third overall for ESPN to the OU spring game.  In 2003, the College GameDay crew of Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit included the Sooners during their spring tour for SportsCenter.
 
Oklahoma is on a roll when it comes to football on television. The last 56 OU games have been televised. Over the history of the program 249 Sooner games have been televised, including 144 that were shown to national audiences.
