Recap

Oklahoma State dominated early, with Desmond Roland scoring on a 1-yard rush in the first quarter before Oklahoma answered with a spectacular 64-yard punt return touchdown by Jalen Saunders. The Cowboys extended their lead with a Ben Grogan field goal and another Roland touchdown pass to Desmond Roland in the third quarter, but Oklahoma's offense began to find rhythm behind Blake Bell and Grant Bothun. A key Bothun-to-Michael Hunnicutt 8-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter cut into the deficit, and Oklahoma never trailed again. Michael Hunnicutt's 39-yard field goal in the fourth quarter proved decisive as the Sooners outscored the Cowboys down the stretch to secure the 24-33 victory and claim the belt.

Jalen Saunders 64-yard punt return touchdown in Q1 kept Oklahoma in an otherwise dominant Cowboys start
Clint Chelf-to-Desmond Roland 15-yard touchdown pass in Q3 extended Oklahoma State's lead to seemingly comfortable margin
Grant Bothun-to-Michael Hunnicutt 8-yard touchdown pass in Q3 shifted momentum decisively to Oklahoma
Michael Hunnicutt 39-yard field goal in Q4 provided crucial cushion in Oklahoma's fourth-quarter comeback
