The 2013 Oklahoma Sooners football team represented the University of Oklahoma in the 2013 NCAA Division I FBS football season, the 119th season of Sooner football. The team was led by two-time Walter Camp Coach of the Year Award winner, Bob Stoops, in his 15th season as head coach. They played their home games at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. They were a charter member of the Big 12 Conference.
Conference play began at home on September 7 with a win against the West Virginia Mountaineers and ended in the annual Bedlam Series on December 7 against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater with the Sooners upsetting the Cowboys 33–24 on the road.[1] With the victory over the Kansas State Wildcats on November 23, head coach Bob Stoops got his 158th career win to move past Barry Switzer for the most wins in program history.[2] After finishing the regular season with a record of 10–2 (7–2 in Big 12 play), finishing in a tie for second place in the conference, the Sooners received an at-large bid to play in the Sugar Bowl, where they upset the Alabama Crimson Tide with a final score of 45–31.[3][4]
Prior to the season, the team received some media attention in May 2013, when the school self-reported that three players, two later revealed to be Gabe Ikard and Austin Woods, were said to have eaten too much pasta during a graduation ceremony (some sources dubbed this incident as “Pastagate”), and required the three players to donate $3.83 (cost of the pasta) to a charity, with Ikard and Woods donating $5 due to how good they believed the pasta was. The NCAA later issued a statement saying that Oklahoma had not committed a violation.[5]
Following the season, Jalen Saunders and Aaron Colvin were selected in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft, along with Corey Nelson and Trey Millard in the seventh.
