Oklahoma football: 2013 schedule features three bye weeks

RED RIVER GAME SLATED FOR OCT. 12

The Sooners' 2013 trip to Dallas for the Red River Rivalry against Texas is scheduled for Oct. 12.

Oklahoma hosts TCU, which will play its first game in Norman as a Big 12 opponent, a week before playing Texas, and travels to Kansas the following week.

The Longhorns are at Iowa State the week before OU, and have a bye the weekend after facing the Sooners.

BEDLAM TO CONCLUDE 2013 SLATE

Next year's Bedlam game in Stillwater will be played on Saturday. Dec. 7, which is the last regular season date.

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are both off the week before Bedlam, and will play one of just two Big 12 games scheduled for that final weekend; the other is Texas at Baylor.

The Bedlam game also concludes a tough stretch for the Sooners; they'll play three of their last four games on the road.
