No. 18 Oklahoma gets a huge road win in Neyland Stadium
FINAL: No. 18 Oklahoma 33, No. 14 Tennessee 27
Tennessee's costly first-half mistakes came back to cost them in the second half. John Mateer and the Oklahoma offense got rolling in the second half, and the defense bowed up after giving up substantial yardage in the first two quarters.
The Sooners gave Joey Aguilar fist for most of the game, but especially in the first half. They picked him off twice and forced a scoop and score with Tennessee driving in Oklahoma territory. Because of that, the Sooners were able to hang around and take a lead into halftime despite a lackluster offensive showing.
In the second half, Oklahoma got rolling on the offensive side of the ball, and that was all she wrote. John Mateer looked more like his pre-injury self, especially in the running game. He totaled 80 rushing yards, and Oklahoma went for 195 as a team on the ground. Kicker Tate Sandell deserves a big hat tip as well as he connected on all four field goal attempts.
Now, Oklahoma's playoff hopes are still very much alive. The Sooners will now get a bye week before going on the road for a massive tilt against No. 4 Alabama.
