If the game were just 30 minutes long, we would be looking at a completely different series to this point, with Riley’s guys being up two to zip. In each of the first two games in this virtual championship series, Mayfield has had his 2017 team out in front after a half, only to squander and eventually lose the advantage in the second half.
Stoops’ 2008 Sooners overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to win Game 1 38-26, and trailed by four points at the intermission in Game 2 before coming back to win 59-55 in double overtime.
Home field advantage shifts to Mayfield and Company in Games 3, 4 and, if necessary 5 as Riley’s 2017 Boomers try to get back in the series and swing the momentum back in their direction.
