Michigan will travel to face off against Oklahoma in Norman in Week 2 for one of the most anticipated matchups of the first two weeks of the College Football season. Michigan and Oklahoma have met only one previous time, with the lone meeting coming in the 1976 Orange Bowl. Oklahoma won the game 14-6 on its way to winning its fifth National Championship.Brent Venables enters his fourth season as head coach for Oklahoma and has expressed his excitement about the Sooners' Week 2 matchup against the Wolverines.“That game is coming quickly,” Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables said at Thursday’s OU Football Coaches Luncheon, “Michigan has a long history and storied tradition, very much like Oklahoma.” Venables enters this season under pressure from Sooner Nation with a 22-17 record as head coach at Oklahoma. The Week 2 non-conference matchup between two of the most storied teams in College Football will help set the tone for the season for Michigan and Oklahoma.After winning the National Championship in 2023, Michigan regressed in the first season under head coach Sherrone Moore despite upsetting Ohio State and beating Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl. The Wolverines finished the 2024 season with an 8-5 record. Entering his second season, Michigan fans want Moore to lead the Wolverines to the College Football Playoff. Beating Oklahoma in a marquee early-season matchup will help the Wolverines reach that goal. For the Sooners, a win over Michigan would secure a signature win for Coach Venables after a disappointing 6-7 season in 2024.
