Arnold steps up to guide Sooners to 31-24 win over Cougars in last Big 12 road trip

by

Playing without starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the second half, the No. 14 Oklahoma Sooners managed a 31-24 win on a slippery Provo, Utah football field over a scrappy BYU Cougars on Saturday.

Backup freshman QB Jackson Arnold — a heralded recruit seen to be a future star in Norman — saw his most playing time, leading the Sooners after Gabriel was sidelined with a concussion sustained right before halftime.

Offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby turned to the Sooners run game, both to ease the pressure on the freshman QB but also to capitalize on a BYU weakness. Gavin Sawchuk had the go-ahead touchdown run in the fourth quarter and led Sooner rushers with 104 yards on 14 carries. Arnold carried the ball eight times for 24 yards.

But a late 3rd down conversion with 2:05 left in the game, with Arnold zipping a slant pass to junior receiver Jalil Farooq, sealed the game. Farooq led the Sooners receivers with five catches and 53 yards.

Keep those shirts on at the tailgate, friends

Hello, Crimson and Cream Fashion Lovers!  I am so glad to be back into the haute couture mix where I judge you silently from afar. 

Forgive my recent absence.  I had to take a sudden break due to an egregious faux pas committed by a dear friend.  I had to bail her from fashion jail, swearing I will never let her wear burnt orange again.

Today is the day, friends!  Today we will discuss the ever popular, but ever differing, Tail Gating Party.  When I say differing, I mean several things but today I will be discussing size and offerings provided by each.

Gabriel passed for 423 yards and five touchdowns and ran for 50 yards and three scores. He surpassed the previous touchdown record of seven set by Baker Mayfield in 2016 and matched by Kyler Murray in 2018.

The performance put Gabriel in the Top 10 of the NCAA’s all-time career passing list.

The game put Oklahoma back on track after two straight losses in previous
