It is crazy that we are already here as spring practice is wrapping up for the Oklahoma Sooners. Just before we know it, fall camp will be here and then the start of the season.
But before we get there we have to have the annual red/white game. This game shows off the months of preparations and while it doesn’t count, it’s still fun for fans to see just how far some of their favorite players have come since the season before. It’s also become quite a spectacle with all of the different events they do nowadays.
So, let’s take a look at that along with some fan information for the game and what the weather is going to be like.

The game will feature the offense (Red Team) vs. the defense (White Team) and a point-scoring system for each squad. Each quarter will be 12 minutes in duration.
At the start of the 4th Quarter, a target score will be generated by adding 12 points to the leading team’s score. If one of the teams reaches that target score before the fourth quarter clock expires, that team wins. If the target score is not reached by either team, the team leading when the clock expires wins. – SoonerSports.com
