The Sooners, ranked No. 18 nationally, successfully began the season last weekend at the Brockport/Oklahoma Gold Classic by winning their 10th straight team title. OU topped an impressive field on its way to the championship, including No. 15 Edinboro and No. 18 Central Michigan.
"We are off to a good start and my staff is excited to see our guys perform under the lights at home," head coach Jack Spates said. "There will be a lot of Oklahoma action with these two schools squaring off and we encourage fans to come out and cheer us to victory."
Three Sooners in Thursday's starting lineup are individually ranked. Joey Fio at 125 pounds is No. 15, Zack Bailey is No. 8 at 141 pounds and Eric Lapotsky is No. 10 at 197 pounds.
OU visited UCO last season on Dec. 7, prevailing by a 27-6 final after winning eight of 10 bouts. Thursday will mark the 50th meeting between the two Oklahoma schools, with the Sooners owning a 40-8-1 record versus the Bronchos.
