Oklahoma likely to be tested by Miami

Sep 8, 2007 - 10:28 AM Miami (1-0) at No. 5 Oklahoma (1-0) 12:00 pm EDT

NORMAN, Oklahoma (Ticker) -- Bob Stoops' offense will not be scoring 79 points this week. The Oklahoma coach certainly would settle for producing just one more point than Miami.

Coming off a spectacular offensive display, the fifth-ranked Sooners host the Hurricanes in an intriguing non-conference matchup Saturday.

Last Saturday, the reigning Big 12 Conference-champion Sooners crushed North Texas of the Sun Belt, 79-10.

A pair of redshirt freshmen led the way, with Sam Bradford throwing for 363 yards and three touchdowns in his first start and DeMarco Murray rushing for five scores.

Coming off a 7-6 season under Larry Coker that featured an infamous brawl with Florida International that led to the coach's firing, Miami opened the Randy Shannon era with a 31-3 rout of Marshall.

Javarris James rushed for a pair of TDs for Miami, which was opening its final season at the famed Orange Bowl.

Miami leads the all-time series, 3-2. The teams have not met since the Hurricanes won the Orange Bowl following the 1987 season, 20-14.
