Trick plays are often regular parts of bowl games as teams have several extra weeks to add plays that aren't a normal part of the offense.
Oklahoma regularly went to the well of the weird Monday night, starting with an odd play early.
On first down inside Auburn 30, Sooner players appeared to give up on a play, standing up and not attempting to make a block, acting like the play had been halted.
Instead, OU quarterback Baker Mayfield ran for 7 yards before Auburn was able to bring him down.
The play was set up a play earlier when Joe Mixon caught a 32-yard pass on third-and-22 for an unlikely conversion.
