The 11 wins so far this season marks the 14th consecutive campaign the Sooners have posted 10 or more wins under head coach Jack Spates. The team is off to its best start since 1985, when Stan Abel's squad began the year 12-0.
The Sooners will look to remain unbeaten on the season when it hits the road to Chattanooga, Tenn., next Sunday, Jan. 11, at 1 p.m.
