Draft — needs Matt’s voice pass

The Streak Finally Breaks

After the better part of five seasons without a loss, Oklahoma's remarkable run came to an end against Notre Dame — the same program that had handed Wilkinson his last defeat back in 1953, in a strange bit of symmetry. The Sooners still finished the year as Big Seven and Orange Bowl champions, a reminder that even the greatest streaks are chapters, not the whole story. *(Note: this draft is thin on purpose — the gap report flags that the full schedule and final record didn't come through this pull; fill in the actual streak-ending score before using this paragraph.)*

NEEDS MANUAL REVIEW: source page gave coach/conference/final rank and confirmed Big 7 + Orange Bowl champion, but record and full schedule were not present in what was pulled. Needs a direct re-pull or manual lookup. (Notable: this is the season the 47-game win streak ended, vs Notre Dame -- confirm date/score manually.)
