- Interim offensive coordinator Jason Witten made his play-calling debut and the Sooners totaled 352 yards while controlling time of possession.
- Quarterback John Mateer completed 21 of 33 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns and added 56 rushing yards as the offense looked more efficient under Witten.
- Oklahoma's defense pressured Florida into two interceptions and held the Gators to one touchdown, with Owen Heinecke forcing the errant throw that led to a key pick.
