Dean became the first woman to drive the Sooner Schooner in school history. The Sooner Schooner has been an OU tradition since first appearing in 1964.

That’s Sanger graduate and my former student, Darby Dean, taking the reins as the first female to ever drive the Sooner Schooner in 57 years! Isn’t she awesome? #historyinthemaking https://t.co/UD6fA3s48a

“The most indescribable experience ever," Dean told ESPN's Holly Rowe. "I wish I had words to answer the question but I don’t. It’s just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
OU currently leads the Cowboys, 27-13, going into the third quarter.
