Oklahoma will be playing its first Division I-AA opponent since 1999 when Chattanooga visits Owen Field Saturday night. Despite the apparent discrepancy of talent, coach Bob Stoops doesn't think his team will overlook the Moccasins.

"We do nothing whatsoever differently," said Stoops, whose last game against a Division I-AA foe was a 49-0 victory over Indiana State in his opening game as the Sooners' coach on Sept. 11, 1999.

Stoops said upsets around the country have caught his team's attention in their preparations.

"We look at everybody equally," Stoops told the Oklahoman at his weekly press conference in Norman Tuesday afternoon. "Anyone is capable of beating anybody. We prepare exactly like we would for anyone."
