No. 8 Oklahoma secured a 17-6 victory against No. 23 Missouri on Saturday in a game that brought the Sooners closer to a potential spot in the College Football Playoff. Quarterback John Mateer played a pivotal role, throwing two touchdown passes and accumulating 173 yards through the air, along with 60 rushing yards.
In a standout performance, Isaiah Sategna caught three passes for 109 yards, including one touchdown. The Oklahoma defense was relentless, allowing Missouri only 301 total yards and shutting them out in the second half. This marked a significant achievement for the Sooners, who improved their season record to 9-2.
Ahmad Hardy, who has been a dominant force in college football this season, leading the FBS in rushing, was held to just 57 yards by Oklahoma”s stout defense. The Sooners will look to build on this momentum as they prepare to face LSU next Saturday.
This victory not only strengthens Oklahoma”s standing in the playoff race but also showcases their defensive capabilities, a crucial element as the season heads into its final stretch.
