Oklahoma Sooners will stripe the stadium against Michigan
OU will stripe Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on September 6th, a theme the Sooners have brought out for plenty of other big games in the past. Alternating sections of fans will wear red and white shirts, displaying a great look on TV.
That contest could very well earn a lot of eyeballs in early September, as it could even be the site for ESPN's College GameDay in Week 2. The network has already announced that kickoff will be at 6:30 p.m. on ABC's Saturday Night Football.
But the Michigan game isn't the only one to get a theme in Norman this year. Among others, September 20th against Auburn is "Wear Crimson" day, Homecoming against Ole Miss is set for October 25th and "Military Appreciation Day" is against Missouri on November 22nd.
After Oklahoma lost two home games a year ago (against Tennessee and South Carolina), the Sooners would love to get back to their 2023 form, where they went undefeated in Norman.

2026 4-star CB and Texas A&M commit shuts down recruitment
Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class features two of the top cornerback prospects in the cycle, starting with five-star Brandon Arrington and four-star Victor Singleton, who the Aggies flipped from Illinois back in early April. Singleton has been one of the program's biggest supporters via social media, cheering on every commitment in the class, while his elite skill set on the field speaks for itself. On Sunday, Singleton joined a long list of Texas A&M's 27 commits who have shut down their recruitment, following four-star linebacker DaQuives Beck, who announced his shutdown on Friday night, which was spurred by wide receivers Aaron Gregory and Madden Williams and edge commits Jordan Carter and Samu Moala, who all announced their shutdowns this summer. Singleton is one of the fiercest defenders in the 2026 class, and the fact that head coach Mike Elko and defensive backs coach Jordan Peterson flipped him from Illinois head coach Bret Bielema, who has developed and sent several cornerbacks to the NFL, is quite the recruiting win. On the field, Singleton isn't afraid to tackle and is one of the better man coverage specialists due to his elite athleticism, quickness, and defensive instincts. During his 2024 junior season, Singleton recorded 30 tackles, five tackles for loss, and four interceptions. According to On3, Singleton is currently positioned as the 56th-ranked prospect in the cycle, the 8th-ranked cornerback, and the third-ranked prospect in Ohio.

How many miles will Nebraska football travel in 2025?
One of the biggest changes to college sports over the past several seasons has been conference realignment. With the realignment, regional conferences now stretch coast to coast, resulting in an increase in travel and a dramatic increase in the miles traveled. The Big Ten Huddle did the calculations, and the numbers are eye-popping. No surprise that the four former Pac-12 teams will travel the most in the Big Ten Conference in 2025. Oregon leads the group, with the Ducks scheduled to travel 8,128 miles. Illinois will do the least amount of traveling, with only 2,735 miles scheduled this season. The Huskers ranked tenth in the Big Ten, with 3,790 miles scheduled. Nebraska will open the 2025 college football season on the road. They will face the Cincinnati Bearcats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 28. The Cornhuskers will only travel four times during Big Ten play. They will play at Minnesota, Maryland, and Penn State, but the farthest road trip in 2025 will be on November 8 when Nebraska plays the UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl. Find the entire Big Ten breakdown below. Contact/Follow us @CornhuskersWire on X (formerly Twitter), and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Nebraska news, notes, and opinions.

Top Iowa basketball recruiting target commits to Big Ten rival
Recruiting in college is full of wins and losses. You get some prospects to commit, and some go elsewhere. Ben McCollum has won a lot of recruiting battles early in his tenure at Iowa, but he lost a big one on Thursday to a Big Ten rival school. Colin Rice is a four-star prospect in the 2026 recruiting class from Waukee Northwest High School in Waukee, Iowa. The skilled and lengthy wing was a top target for McCollum and the Hawkeyes, as they wanted to keep his talents in-state. Unfortunately for the Hawks, Rice has other plans for his future. Joe Tipton was the first to report that Rice has committed to play his college ball for Fred Hoiberg and the Nebraska Cornhuskers. As Tipton said, Rice picked Nebraska over Iowa, Illinois, Northwestern, and countless other offers. It's not the first wing the Hawkeyes have lost to Lincoln this offseason, as Pryce Sandfort transferred to Nebraska earlier this year. While it's a blow to Iowa's 2026 class, it's far from the end of the world for that group. McCollum and the Hawks are still in the thick of a bunch of recruiting battles for great 2026 players, including four-stars Katrelle Harmon, Quinn Costello, and Arafan Diane. If Iowa can land one or two of those players, the 2026 class can still be great, and we all know what McCollum is capable of in the transfer portal. You win some recruiting battles and you lose others. It's part of the game. While Iowa wasn't able to secure Rice for its 2026 class, McCollum has earned the trust of the fanbase with his ability to bring top talent to Iowa City.
