The Oklahoma Sooners accepted a bid to play in the Armed Forces Bowl to take on Navy (8-3, 6-2 American), the bowl announced. The Armed Forces Bowl is set for Dec. 27 on ESPN, with kickoff slated for 11 a.m. in Fort Worth, Texas.
It will be Oklahoma’s first- ever appearance in the Armed Forces Bowl, which is played at TCU’s Amon G. Carter Stadium. The bowl marks the 26th consecutive season that Oklahoma has made a bowl game, the secondlongest active streak in the country behind only Georgia, which will make its 28th consecutive postseason appearance while earning a first-round bye in the 12team College Football Playoff after winning the SEC title on Saturday.
The bowl game will also represent the second- ever meeting between Oklahoma and Navy, with the first a 10-0 OU loss back in 1965 in Norman.
