The Sooners accepted an invitation Sunday to play in the 76th Annual Brut Sun Bowl against the Stanford Cardinal.
OU finished the regular season with a 7-5 overall record and 5-3 in the Big 12, which was tied for third in the Big 12 South. Stanford went 8-4 during the regular season with victories over Southern California and Oregon.
“We appreciate the invitation from the Brut Sun Bowl and are anxious to make the trip to El Paso,” head coach Bob Stoops said. “We look forward to a number of our fans being there as well. In Stanford we are facing a fine program. Like many others, we have been impressed by the job coach [Jim] Harbaugh and his team have done this season, and we understand the quality of the opponent we’ll be facing.”
OU and Stanford have met four times before, with the Sooners leading the series 3-1. The last time the two teams faced each other was in 1984.
The game is slated for Dec. 31 at noon and will be aired on CBS.
