Cheez-It Bowl live stream (12/29): How to watch Oklahoma-Florida State online, TV, time

Oklahoma faces Florida State on Thursday, Dec. 29 in the Cheez-It Bowl. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

The Florida State Seminoles are finally seeing the fruits of their multiyear rebuild manifest on the field.

After finishing 2022 with their first winning season since Jimbo Fisher left for Texas A&M in 2019, the Seminoles (9-3) will look for their first bowl win of the Mike Norvell era when they face Oklahoma in the Cheez-It Bowl in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday.

This is Florida State’s first bowl-eligible season since Norvell took over.

The Oklahoma Sooners, meanwhile, are at the beginning of a rebuild, as first-year coach Brent Venables tries to push the program forward after Lincoln Riley left for USC and took Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Caleb Williams with him.

The Sooners (6-6) had their worst finish since going 5-6 during the 1998 season.

Oklahoma and Florida State will meet Thursday for just the seventh time, and the first since Sept. 9, 2011.

Preview

DUAL THREATS: The matchup between Travis and Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel will be a clash of two dual-threat playmakers.

Travis had the seventh-best QBR in 2022 in his third season at quarterback for the Seminoles. He passed for a career-best 2,796 yards and 22 touchdowns with just four interceptions. He also had seven touchdowns on the ground.

SUSTAINED SUCCESS: The Sooners are 6-1 all-time vs. Florida State, including a long history of success in bowl games against the Seminoles. Oklahoma has won three of four bowl games against Florida State, including a win over the Seminoles in the 2001 Orange Bowl to win the BCS national championship. In that game, the undefeated Sooners capped their dominant season with a 13-2 win over the No. 2 Seminoles.

RUN IT UP: Oklahoma will have a tough test against Florida State’s rushing attack, which led the ACC in rushing with 2,614 yards and 31 TDs and has a running quarterback and two of the ACC’s top 10 rushers.

Seminoles running back Trey Benson was fourth in the conference, with 965 yards rushing and nine touchdowns on 141 carries. He averaged 80.4 rushing yards per game.

Treshaun Ward was seventh, with 547 yards on 85 carries with five TDs.
