Oklahoma secured a 23-7 victory over Florida on November 7, 2026, marking a successful offensive coordinator debut for former NFL tight end Jason Witten.

The Sooners' defense held the Gators to a single touchdown while the offense, under Witten's guidance, produced 23 points in the season-opening matchup.

Witten, an 11-time Pro Bowler during his playing career with the Dallas Cowboys, transitioned to coaching after retirement and was named Oklahoma's offensive coordinator ahead of the 2026 season.

The win gives Oklahoma an early statement win in non-conference play as they begin the post-Witten hiring era.
