Special teams led the way for the Oklahoma Sooners in the first half, pushing OU to a 9-3 lead. Zach Schmit was 3-of-3 on field goals, including a 56-yarder that had plenty of distance. Luke Elzinga and Bauer Sharp executed a perfect fake punt that put the Sooners at first-and-goal at the 10-yard line.

Oklahoma game featured an absolutely wild finish. And, Eli Drinkwitz said, keeps the Tigers in the “playoff hunt.”

The Sooners started the week as a 4-point underdog but are now 3-point favorites and have been largely undaunted in SEC road games so far, and Columbia is no more of a snake pit than Oxford or Auburn.
