TULSA, Okla. (AP) — There’s always been a part of Trey Watts that wanted to play a game on Oklahoma’s Owen Field.
The son of former Sooners quarterback J.C. Watts frequently attended games as a season-ticket holder when his family lived in Norman. Later on, the games became a Saturday TV staple.
Watts will finally get his chance to play on Oklahoma’s home field this Saturday night, just not for the top-ranked Sooners. He’s expected to start at running back for Tulsa.
Watts calls it a “special opportunity” to play at the stadium. J.C. Watts was 22-3 as Oklahoma’s starting quarterback, winning the Big Eight title and the Orange Bowl in three straight seasons.
