Tostitos Fiesta Bowl

The University of Oklahoma and Boise State University share a deep tradition of football excellence. Oklahoma is one of the most tradition rich universities in college football.

Boise State won a Division I-AA National Championship in 1980 and returned to the Championship game again in 1994 but lost to Youngstown State.

The Sooners, meanwhile, have the best record in the nation since World War II (542-159-13, .762). OU also holds the NCAA record for most consecutive wins with 47 (1953-1957). The Sooners have scored more points in program history than anyone else in college football with 29,138. OU is also first in the nation in 11-plus win seasons and 10-plus win seasons.
