It wasn’t the prettiest win for the Oklahoma Sooners in their 31-24 victory over the BYU Cougars. But it was a win nonetheless. Provo provided a fantastic backdrop for the Sooners final road game as a Big 12 member. Sooner Nation loved the scenic views of Utah ahead of today’s game.
The Sooners moved to 9-2 on a day when the defense wasn’t at its best and the offense lost starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel to a concussion. Jackson Arnold stepped in after halftime and played well enough for the Sooners to get a win, but Oklahoma needed some big-time defensive plays in the second half to come out on top.
It was a big day for Billy Bowman, who had a key interception return for a touchdown. Danny Stutsman came up big despite dealing with an illness.
In Gavin Sawchuk, it feels like the Sooners have found their running game. Sawchuk posted his third straight 100-yard day and capped it off with a 16-yard game-winning touchdown.
It was a solid road win for the Sooners who continue to show they’re a different team than the one that took the field a year ago.
Here’s how social media reacted to the Sooners 31-24 win over BYU.
