Sooners topple Rocky, shuts up the SEC (again) 31-24 in OT
>>>HUNTER’S OU-TENN REPORT CARD
Maybe the only thing matching the exhilaration of Sooner Magic appearing in Knoxville is the satisfaction of shutting up the S-E-C chanters.
Both happened Saturday night when No. 19 Oklahoma came from a 17-point deficit to defeat the No. 23 Tennessee Volunteers 31-24 in double overtime.
Baker Mayfield threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard in the second overtime.
For Coach Bob Stoops it was reminiscent of the Sooners’ 35-31 triumph over Texas A&M during the Sooners’ 2000 national championship season.
“It’s one of the more special wins, maybe my favorite of all of them,” Stoops said. “A little Sooner magic came back out. It reminded me of maybe like we’re back at A&M back in 2000, where we made some plays to win the game that you feel pretty fortunate and blessed to make.”
