Kickoff Time Set for Oklahoma and UCF

The Sooners will meet the UCF Knights for the first time in program history coming out of Oklahoma's bye week.

Oklahoma stood as college football's big winners in Week 6.

Brent Venables' Sooners reversed last year's Red River Rivalry, leaning on late heroics from quarterback Dillon Gabriel to upend the Texas Longhorns 34-30.

The victory was an early statement in the Venables Era, and vaulted OU to No. 5 in this week's AP Poll.

OU will have time to come down off the high of Saturday's win, as they're off this weekend, but the kickoff time has been announced for the Sooners' next matchup.

Oklahoma and UCF is slated to start at 11 a.m. on Oct. 21, and the game will be broadcast on ABC.

It will be the first ever meeting between the Sooners and the Knights, and the contest will also serve as a bit of a reunion.

Gabriel and OU offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby initially linked up at UCF in 2019, and Gabriel went on to play 26 games for the Big 12 newcomers.
