Interesting report out of The Oklahoman this morning. If you think about it, it would make a lot of sense. This, of course, would be in the line of thinking OU actually plays non-conference games.

OU athletic director Joe Castiglione’s rationale in this pandemic-stricken year is that moving the opener would give OU an off week after each of its first two games, which could be valuable with the testing of players for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

Interesting. Would make OU's schedule look:

Aug. 29 - Missouri State
Sept 5 - BYE
Sept 12 - Tennesee
Sept 19 - BYE
Sept 26 - @ Army
