Sooners find the way to win a close one

There is no doubt Oklahoma would have lost this game last year.

A close contest, with the Sooners offense’s sputtering run game hindering its scoring early and an opponent that brought a top 5 offense to town.

But this year Oklahoma has found a way to win the close ones. And did so on a pleasant fall Saturday in Norman, defeating UCF 31-29 to grab its fourth conference win and remain unbeaten at 7-0.
