TV/Kickoff Info for Tulane, Nebraska Announced
May 27, 2021 | Football
NORMAN — Television and kickoff information for two of Oklahoma's first three 2021 football games was announced Thursday.
OU's Sept. 4 season opener at Tulane will kick off at 11 a.m. CT and be televised by ABC, while the Sept. 18 home contest against Nebraska will start at 11 a.m. CT and air on FOX. FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff" pregame show will originate from Norman for the game vs. the Cornhuskers.
Thursday's information comes a week after ESPN announced it would carry the Oct. 9 Texas game in Dallas and the Nov. 27 contest at Oklahoma State (times TBD).
The Sooners won their only meeting with Tulane, a 56-14 home decision on Sept. 16, 2017, as the AP's No. 2-ranked team. The programs are slated to finish their three-game series in Norman in 2024.
Former conference brethren, Oklahoma (50) and Nebraska (46) rank first and second nationally in conference championships. The Sooners or Huskers (or both) won or shared Big Seven/Big Eight titles in 44 of the conferences' 48 years (1948-95) and combined for nine Big 12 championships (seven by OU) before Nebraska departed the league in 2011.
This year's Oklahoma-Nebraska matchup occurs on the 50-year anniversary of the "Game of the Century" that saw the No. 1-ranked Cornhuskers edge the No. 2 Sooners 35-31 on Nov. 25, 1971. The Thanksgiving Day game in Norman attracted a then-record 55-million-plus television viewers and featured 17 of the 22 first-team All-Big Eight selections that season (nine from NU and eight from OU).
The programs haven't met since 2010 when OU registered a 23-20 win in the 2010 Big 12 Championship Game in Arlington, Texas. The Sooners hold a 45-38-3 series lead against the Huskers.
