NORMAN, Oklahoma --Winning streaks are nothing new to the Oklahoma football program. The legendary Bud Wilkinson won a remarkable 47 in-a-row when he roamed the sidelines for the Sooners. Oklahoma's latest streak involves the friendly confines in Norman, not so friendly for the opponents.

Oklahoma enters its date with Oklahoma State riding a 29 home-game winning streak. A streak which hasn't even come close to being threatened this season, outside at late Kansas State rally back in October, which still finished as a 12-point Sooner victory.

"It's not something we focus on. Sure you take pride in it, but you try to take pride in winning every game," coach Stoops said.

"We are going to go out there with all we have, last game with the seniors and we want to go out there with some type of legacy," offensive lineman Trent Williams said.

Texas Christian was the last team to win in Norman on Sept. 3, 2005, with a 17-10 victory.

If you go back even further, Oklahoma has lost only once at home in their last 50 games. Speaking of streaks, the Sooners have won the last six meetings against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

The Sooners and Cowboys kickoff at 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 21 at Owen Field.
