Recap

Oklahoma's defense and special teams dominated Missouri from start to finish in this 62-21 belt defense. The Sooners struck first with a Jimmy Stevens field goal, then Chris Brown punched in a touchdown to go up 10-0 early. Sam Bradford orchestrated a surgical passing attack in the second quarter, connecting with Juaquin Iglesias twice for scores just two minutes apart, and the Sooners added two more touchdowns before halftime to build a commanding 45-7 lead. Missouri's Chase Daniel found Jeremy Maclin for a touchdown in the second quarter and Tommy Saunders in the third, but the Tigers' three turnovers and inability to move the ball consistently on the ground (just 60 rushing yards) kept them from making this competitive.

Sam Bradford's consecutive touchdown passes to Juaquin Iglesias in Q2 gave Oklahoma a 31-7 lead and effectively put the game away
Brian Jackson's interception of Chase Daniel late in the second quarter that he returned to the Mizzou 28 led to another Oklahoma touchdown before halftime
Missouri's turnover margin of minus-3 and inability to generate a consistent rushing attack allowed Oklahoma's defense to control the pace
Oklahoma's 12-16 third-down conversion rate kept drives alive and prevented Missouri from ever gaining momentum
