Last week’s game featuring the Texas Longhorns and Kansas Jayhawks was postponed last Wednesday. Now we can add the Oklahoma Sooners and West Virginia Mountaineers game to the list. It was reported on Wednesday that the game was postponed due to COVID-19 tests and contact tracing on the Sooners’ side, according to Sooners Wire.
“In accordance with Big 12 Conference football game interruption guidelines, the Oklahoma at West Virginia game scheduled for Nov. 28 has been postponed,” Oklahoma football announced in a press release. “The game will be rescheduled on Dec. 12. The time and television designation will be announced when available.”
The Sooners were scheduled to play West Virginia at 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday night. The two are now scheduled to play on Dec. 12. The time has not been announced.
With Oklahoma’s game now being moved, there will be three games played on Dec. 12, each of which could have Big 12 Championship game implications. That is all based on how the next two weeks go in terms of the games being played.
The Texas Longhorns will host the Iowa State Cyclones on Friday. A Texas loss will put Iowa State in the championship and the Longhorns would conceivably be on the outs. However, losses by Oklahoma and Oklahoma State could put them right back into the thick of things.
Dec. 12 Schedule:
- Oklahoma State-Baylor
- Texas-Kansas
- Oklahoma-West Virginia
The game times are to be announced.
