The Miners fell to North Texas 31-13 last week. It was an inefficient game from redshirt junior QB Gavin Hardison'as he completed only 21 of his 48 passes for 293 yards and a touchdown – with no interceptions.
For Oklahoma, it will be the Sooners’ 1st game under coach Brent Venables, who replaced Lincoln Riley. Venables is expected to bring a tenacious defense to Oklahoma and UCF transfer QB Dillon Gabriel brings experience to the offense.
