Overview
- Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer threw for 159 yards, rushed for 80 and scored the clinching 1-yard touchdown inside two minutes.
- Tennessee’s Joey Aguilar passed for 393 yards but committed two interceptions and lost a fumble that R. Mason Thomas returned 71 yards for an Oklahoma touchdown, the longest fumble return in Sooners history.
- Tate Sandell converted four field goals for Oklahoma, including makes from 55, 55 and 51 yards, tying a program mark for 50-plus yard kicks.
- After Mike Matthews’ 15-yard Tennessee touchdown with 1:56 left, Oklahoma recovered the onside kick, sprung a 43-yard Xavier Robinson run to the 1 and punched in Mateer’s score before securing the final onside recovery.
- With the win, Oklahoma moves to 7-2 (3-2 SEC) and keeps its CFP hopes alive, while Tennessee falls to 6-3 (3-3) with its playoff path effectively closed; both have a bye before Nov. 15 games (Oklahoma at Alabama, Tennessee vs. New Mexico State).
