Game Thread Ohio State at Oklahoma, 09/17/16 @ 9:00pm ET, FOX

QB Cody Thomas (split time with Knight in '14, QB3 '15) has decided to play pro ball in the Dodgers organization. Between this and Knight's transfer, Mayfield will be backed up by one scholarship player -- true freshman Austin Kendall. Baker is a tough cookie, but the kid will have to play at some point during the year.

He's tough but he also puts himself in a lot of positions that require he be tough and as Buckeneye pointed out, it's always just a matter of physics and time when QB's do that.

EXAMINING THE SERIES HISTORY OF OHIO STATE VERSUS OKLAHOMA

72512_h.jpg,qitok=ueRIhu8X.pagespeed.ce.W8y-SLRh4U.jpg


It's seems almost impossible to believe when you consider Ohio State and Oklahoma have combined to play over 2,400 football games but the reality is that the two college football bluebloods have met on the gridiron just twice.

This September, the two football factories will add another tilt to the history books as the Buckeyes head to Norman to battle the Sooners in a primetime showdown staged in venerable Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

The upcoming battle will likely feature a pair of top 10 teams just as the two previous matchups did dating back to 1977 and 1983.

Today, we take a trip down memory lane and revisit the two showdowns which left the series split at one game apiece meaning September's clash will serve as the rubber match.

1977: OKLAHOMA 29, OHIO STATE 28

The first ever meeting between the two schools came way back on September 24, 1977 in Columbus.

Woody Hayes was in his 27th season at the helm of the Buckeyes while Barry Switzer was in the midst of his 5th season in Norman.

With both teams ranked in the top four of the AP Poll entering the game with perfect 2-0 marks and featuring top six rushing attacks, a record crowd of 88,119 in the Shoe expected a back and forth affair.

Things didn't quite turn out that way at first as Oklahoma took a 7-0 lead on a fluke fumble by OU fullback Kenny King that was kicked downfield by Buckeye defensive end Paul Ross before eventually being scooped up by Sooner tailback Elvis Peacock who scampered into the endzone for a 33-yard touchdown.

After Rod Gerald fumbled at the OSU 17-yard line on the ensuing possession, the situation got worse as Tom Cousineau separated his shoulder on a 1st down tackle. The very next play, redshirt freshman Billy Sims rolled 15 yards up the gut and just like that it was 14-0 Sooners in front of a hushed crowd.

A Buckeye 3-and-out followed and after the ensuing Sooner drive stalled at the OSU 9, Uwe von Schamann drilled a 23-yard field goal making it 17-0 bad guys, still in the 1st quarter.

Ohio State's offense again responded with a 3-and-out and shortly after von Schamann kicked another field goal putting the Buckeyes in a 20-0 hole early in the 2nd quarter leading ABC to switch to regional coverage.
