Sing a song of defense — Sooners hold onto 20-6 win over the Bearcats
A tenacious Oklahoma defense lead by LB Danny Stutsman kept Cincinnati out of the end zone the entire game and the Sooners delivered a 20-6 defeat to the Bearcat’s as their introduction to Big 12 football.
Stutsman had 13 tackles — three for a loss — in a defensive effort that was much needed, considering the Sooners’ offense was periodically stymied by a stellar Bearcats run defense and managed a season low 20 points.
The Sooners held Cincinnati to 141 rushing yards. Cincinnati quarterback Emory Jones went 22-for-41 with 235 passing yards and two interceptions.
