UM's passing attack broke out for 328yds which, kept them in the ball game. L. Hankerson had a caree day with 8 catches for 163yds and a TD. UM didn't give up on their running game even though it was very tough to run against OUs front 7. J. James still had 25 carries though he averaged less than 3yds/carry. UM was able to come back from a 24-14 halftime deficit to take a 28-27 lead late in the game. UM's defense played great in the 2nd half but, could not stop OU on their final drive.

A R. Marve INT in the red zone early in the 4th quarter proved to be the difference. He also fumbled the ball twice today and lost one of them. To his defense OU brought the blitz quite often this game and UMs OL wasn't always able to pick it up.
