Sources tell me that in addition to Miami, North Carolina and Bill Belichick got involved late in the John Mateer sweepstakes. Baker Mayfield, however, helped seal the deal by calling Mateer and making the final case for OU. Soon thereafter Mateer made it official.
21 years ago today: No. 1 OU beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
Behind a brilliant fake punt and a deep ball touchdown on the next play, the Sooners left Alabama with a 20-13 win.
OU owns a 3-2-1 record over Bama.
