Quarterback Kyler Murray and the fifth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners narrowly avoided a massive upset with a 28-21 overtime victory Saturday night against the Army Black Knights at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma.
Murray connected with CeeDee Lamb for a 10-yard touchdown on the second play of OT after kicker Austin Seibert missed a 33-yard field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter. The OU defense made a stop on the ensuing Army drive to clinch the win.
The Sooners managed to remain unbeaten despite losing the total yardage battle (379-355) and holding the ball for just over 15 minutes compared to nearly 45 for the Knights during regulation.
