Oklahoma Sooners Face Crucial Games to Close Out 2024 Season

The Oklahoma Sooners are gearing up for the final stretch of the 2024 college football season, a period that will be pivotal in determining their bowl eligibility. After a strong start with three consecutive wins, the Sooners have faced a challenging period, losing five of their last seven games. Notable losses include back-to-back blowouts against Texas and South Carolina, as well as a defeat to Ole Miss.

Their next significant game is scheduled for Saturday, November 23, against Alabama at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. The game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ABC, with streaming options available on Fubo. This matchup is crucial as the Sooners aim to bounce back from their recent loss to Missouri on November 9.

Following the Alabama game, the Sooners will travel to Baton Rouge for their regular season finale against LSU on November 30. These final games will test the team’s resilience and determine their chances of securing a bowl spot.

In addition to the on-field challenges, the Sooners’ coaching staff has received a vote of confidence. OU head coach Brent Venables was reaffirmed by Athletic Director Joe Castiglione and University President Joseph Harroz, indicating stability within the program despite the recent setbacks.

The recruiting front also remains active for the Sooners. Emerging 2026 recruits, such as Missouri ATH Jacob Eberhart, have received offers from Oklahoma. Eberhart, who recently watched the Sooners play against Missouri, is one of several top targets in the 2026 recruiting cycle.
