No. 5 Oklahoma starts backup QB Hawkins vs struggling Kent State

The University of Oklahoma's women's golf team is set to compete in the inaugural University of Oklahoma Intercollegiate presented by PDI at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas. The two-day, 54-hole tournament features 14 teams, including several ranked in the Women's Golf Coaches Association top-25 poll. Meanwhile, Oklahoma football returns from a bye week to face Kent State with a new starting quarterback, Michael Hawkins Jr., stepping in for John Mateer, who is recovering from hand surgery. The Sooners, ranked No. 5 and undefeated at 4-0, are heavy favorites against the 1-3 Golden Flashes, with expectations to maintain momentum before facing tougher opponents. Key players like sophomore cornerback Eli Bowen and transfer wide receiver Javonnie Gibson are expected to boost Oklahoma's performance. The football game will be nationally televised on SEC Network, and Oklahoma will honor their 1985 national championship team during the event.
