The Tennessee-Oklahoma Series<\/h2>\n

Tennessee and Oklahoma have played just four times dating back to 1939, but played twice in the last 11 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sooners rallied from down 17-0 at Neyland Stadium in September 2015 to win 31-24 in overtime with quarterback Baker Mayfield leading the comeback.<\/p>\n

Tennessee had gone to Oklahoma the season before, losing 34-10 in Norman in the second year under former head coach Butch Jones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first two meetings were in the Orange Bowl. Oklahoma won 26-24 on New Year\u2019s Day in 1968 in Miami and Tennessee won 17-0 on January 2, 1939.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 1939 Orange Bowl win capped a perfect 11-0 season for the Vols, who were named national champions by multiple outlets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tennessee gave up just 16 total points over the 11 games and shut out seven of its final eight opponents that season. The Vols didn\u2019t allow a single point during the regular season in 1939, shutting out 15 straight opponents dating back to the 1938 season, before losing to USC 14-0 in the Rose Bowl on New Year\u2019s Day 1940.<\/p>\n
