No. 4 Oklahoma is set for its third morning kickoff of the season.
The OU-Iowa State game will kick off at 11:30 a.m. Saturday and will be televised by Fox Sports Southwest (Cox 37), the network announced Sunday.

Oklahoma's game against Miami on Sept. 8 was an 11 a.m. kickoff, and the Sooners kicked off against Colorado on Sept. 29 at 11:30 a.m. Mountain time in Boulder.
This is the Sooners' first trip to Ames, Iowa, since 2003. Oddly, OU has had more success against the Cyclones in Ames than in Norman, though the Sooners have dominated the series in both locations.
OU's last loss in Ames came in 1960, when Iowa State won 10-6. Since that time, OU has two losses and one tie when Iowa State visits Norman.
•Facing Chizik: The last time OU faced a Gene Chizik-coached defense wasn't pleasant.
Chizik, Iowa State's first-year head coach, was the defensive coordinator at Texas last season when the Longhorns beat OU 28-10. Even though the talent pool isn't as deep at Iowa State, OU coach Bob Stoops still has a lot of respect for Chizik's coaching ability.
"They're always very fundamentally sound in what they do and the discipline they play with,” Stoops said. "He has a strong background of success, so I would anticipate (him succeeding at Iowa State) as well.”
•100th catch: Despite his two fumbles Saturday night, OU junior Juaquin Iglesias reached a career milestone. His five catches gave him 102 for his career, making him the 12th Sooner all-time to reach 100 receptions.
Only three of the 12 — Eddie Hinton (123), Corey Warren (106) and Stephen Alexander (104) — achieved the feat prior to Stoops' arrival in 1999.
