Nov. 17 Oklahoma-West Virginia game scheduled for 6 p.m. kickoff

NORMAN — The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that Oklahoma’s Nov. 17 game at West Virginia has been scheduled for a 6 p.m. kickoff, and will be broadcast nationally on Fox.

Play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson, color commentator Charles Davis and sideline reporter Julie Alexandria will call the game.

West Virginia began its first year in the Big 12 as a favorite to win the conference, and quarterback Geno Smith was the Heisman frontrunner for much of the early season.

But the Mountaineers have lost three games in a row — at Texas Tech, at home to Kansas State and another home game to TCU in overtime — causing the OU game to lose a little of its preseason luster.

OU is 2-2 all-time against West Virginia, and the Sooners have never played a game there. The last time they met was in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl, when the Mountaineers routed the Sooners 48-28.
