What channel is OU football vs South Carolina on today? Time, TV schedule for Week 8 game – Oklahoman.com

Oklahoma football returns home to continue SEC play in Week 8, and it comes against a first-time opponent.
Coming off a loss in last week’s Red River Rivalry, the Sooners (4-2 overall, 1-2 in SEC) welcome in the South Carolina Gamecocks (3-3, 1-3) to Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 19 for an 11:45 a.m. kickoff.
Saturday’s meeting, of course, is the first SEC matchup between the Sooners and Gamecocks, but also is the first-ever meeting in history between both programs. It is the first true home game for Oklahoma since Sept. 21, when Brent Venables’ squad fell to Tennessee.
The Gamecocks, who are coached by former Oklahoma assistant Shane Beamer, are coming off back-to-back losses to Ole Miss and Alabama. Aside from quarterback LaNorris Sellers, one player to watch out for in South Carolina’s offense is running back Raheim Sanders. The 6-foot tailback is seventh in the SEC in rushing yards at 393 yards.

Justin Martinez, The Oklahoman: Oklahoma 17, South Carolina 16
“OU’s offense is a work in progress with freshman Michael Hawkins Jr. at quarterback, plenty of injuries at wide receiver and a struggling run game. But its defense should do well against the run, forcing South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers to use his arm. And after committing three turnovers in last week’s loss to Alabama, the redshirt freshman could struggle to take care of the ball again versus an OU defense that excels at getting takeaways. Give me OU in a low-scoring game.”
