OU faces a challenge on the road

Virtually unbeatable at home, Oklahoma this week ventures into unfriendly territory: Husky Stadium in Seattle, and back in the Pac-10 Conference.

OU beat Cincinnati 52-26 on Saturday to improve to 56-2 at home under Bob Stoops. The Sooners kick off Saturday at 6:45 p.m. against 0-2 Washington in pursuit of Stoops' 100th career victory.

No. 3-ranked Oklahoma — up a spot from No. 4 last week — needs to be able to conjure victories away from Norman to win the national championship.

"We've got a big test next week, because you know we've got to play better on the road," defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said. "The losses we had last year were on the road. So we've got to make sure we get focused and go out there and play better."
