Missouri overcomes OU’s late touchdowns, ends Sooners’ bowl streak

by

Despite two late fourth-quarter touchdowns, including a 49-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by senior defensive back Billy Bowman Jr., Oklahoma fell to No. 24 Missouri 30-23 at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium. 

Down 16-9 with under 10 minutes left, Oklahoma drove 75 yards on 12 plays, tying the game on an 18-yard touchdown pass by freshman running back Taylor Tatum to sophomore quarterback Jackson Arnold. 

On the following Missouri (7-2, 3-2 SEC) possession, Bowman scooped up the loose ball and raced down the sideline 49 yards, putting Oklahoma (5-5, 1-5 SEC) up 23-16. Sophomore linebacker Sammy Omosigho forced the fumble.

The Tigers responded with the game-tying touchdown on their next drive, using 57 seconds to drive 75 yards on eight plays. Missouri scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 17-yard fumble return with 22 seconds remaining.

Dave: Sooner chances of win at Mizzou are good

I don’t care that it was just Maine. It was nice to see the offense have as much success as they did last
Saturday.

It can only help development and cohesion to have that kind of success, against any type of
competition.

It gives a glimmer of hope with much stiffer competition coming in the last quarter of the
season.

That starts this Saturday night in Columbia against an old Big 8 and Big 12 foe the Missouri Tigers. Missouri has been up and down this year with a 6-2 record. They are coming off a bye week after being shut out by Alabama.

Some of that probably had to do with the fact they lost their starting QB, Brady Cook in that game and the backup Drew Pyne proceeded to throw three picks. They couldn’t get any rhythm on offense against the Tide and that was that.

Cook is listed as questionable coming into the game against the Sooners. So, we probably won’t know until kick off if he will be able to go or if Pyne will get the start. If it’s Pyne, I like our chances a whole lot more in this contest.

Dave: Big win done, now time for revenge

by

I love it when I’m wrong! Oklahoma went out last week and proved that they can win a big game on the road against a quality opponent. The monkey is off the back.

And, allow me to respond to the two biggest excuses that Florida State fans have come up with as to why they lost the game.

Excuse 1: Had E.J. Manuel not gotten hurt, FSU wins. Ridiculous. Manuel left the game late in the 3rd quarter.

That means he played in well over half the game. And in that time he lead his team to 3 points. A whopping 3 points. His backup played in less than half the game and got 10 points.

And, oh by the way, when he ran back on the sidelines in the fourth quarter? The team doctors had given him the ok to go back in the game.
