Overview

  • John Mateer went 24-of-36 for 271 yards with a touchdown pass and capped a six-play, 75-yard late drive with the go-ahead rushing score.
  • R Mason Thomas sealed the result by sacking Jackson Arnold for a safety with about 1:06 remaining.
  • The SEC said officials missed a “hideout tactic” before Isaiah Sategna’s 24-yard second-quarter touchdown and that the play should have drawn a 15-yard team unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
  • Oklahoma pressured Arnold on 46% of dropbacks, with outlets listing nine sacks (ESPN) or a program-record 10 (local reports), led by Jayden Jackson’s 2.5.
  • Auburn’s offense sputtered with 67 rushing yards and frequent penalties, and the Tigers now pivot to Texas A&M as Oklahoma moves to 4-0 heading into an open week.
