OU football linebacker Owen Heinecke was named SEC Defensive Player of the week for his performance and also recorded his first career forced fumble.

After a historic night in the Oklahoma Sooners win over Tennessee, kicker Tate Sandell earned SEC Special Teams Player of the Week.

It’s crunch time in college football, and the Sooners are in the thick of the College Football Playoff hunt thanks to one of the biggest wins of Brent Venables' tenure.

OU football will travel to face Alabama at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15 at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The Tennessee Vols were unable to take advantage of an incredible atmosphere at Neyland Stadium on Saturday night, falling 33-27 to the Oklahoma Sooners.

Fitting that the winning score was 33. Three was the magic number in OU’s 33-27 win at Tennessee. Four 3-pointers off the left foot of Sandell, three of which knifed through the Knoxville sky from 50-plus yards out. “Tate Sandell, man, he’s probably the MVP,” OU coach Brent Venables said. “An absolute animal.”
