Overview

• Still unbeaten at 4-0, Oklahoma matched its single-game sacks record with nine takedowns of ex-Sooner Jackson Arnold and closed with a safety in the final minutes.
• Quarterback John Mateer hit Isaiah Sategna for a contentious 24-yard second‑quarter touchdown and later scored the go‑ahead rushing TD with 4:54 remaining.
• The SEC said officials failed to identify an illegal ‘hideout tactic’ on Sategna’s score that should have drawn a 15‑yard unsportsmanlike penalty, adding that appropriate accountability will follow.
• Auburn’s Hugh Freeze said he tried to call timeout before the snap on the disputed play, while Oklahoma’s Brent Venables and OC Ben Arbuckle described it as a tempo call and said the alignment was cleared with an official.
• Auburn dropped to 3-1 as its offense managed 67 rushing yards and struggled with protection and penalties that contributed to repeated sacks and stalled drives.
