Sooners Outlast Tigers 41-31
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Oklahoma pulls away late to win 41-31 against Missouri: After Oklahoma wide receiver Malcolm Kelly's 17-yard reception in the second quarter against No. 11 Missouri, the homecoming crowd of 85,041 here erupted with its loudest cheer of the Sooners' gritty 41-31 victory. Saturday night's roar wasn't for the catch, but in celebration of Kentucky's upset of top-ranked Louisiana State, which was announced after the play with 3 minutes 46 seconds remaining in the first half. "I had no idea what they were cheering about," Oklahoma defensive end Auston English said. The merriment represented optimism that sixth-ranked Oklahoma could potentially make the Bowl Championship Series title game, which seemed unlikely two weeks ago after the Sooners, ranked No. 3 at the time, lost at unranked Colorado.
