Game Notes
The Oklahoma Sooners and Michigan Wolverines have met once in football, with Oklahoma leading the series 1–0. The lone game was played at a neutral site. A second matchup is scheduled for 2025. Here’s a breakdown of their matchups:
- 1976: Sooners Win in Orange Bowl
On January 1, 1976, No. 3 Oklahoma defeated No. 5 Michigan 14–6 in the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. The Sooners, co-champions of the Big Eight Conference, capitalized on a strong rushing attack led by Joe Washington, while Michigan, the first Big Ten team to play in the Orange Bowl, struggled offensively on the Poly-Turf field. Oklahoma’s victory, coupled with Ohio State’s Rose Bowl loss, helped secure their 1975 national championship.
