    No. 11 Oklahoma spoils Jackson Arnold’s return with 10-sack game against No. 22 Auburn
    After capitalizing on the Tigers’ special teams gaffe with trickery, then getting another stop, OU stalled out.
    OU quarterback John Mateer completed a 29-yard pass to Isaiah Sategna and a 19-yarder to Keontez Lewis, moving the chains on back-to-back plays. But on the third play in that sequence, Mateer fumbled after faking the handoff to Tory Blaylock, and Auburn recovered.
    The OU defense was able to hold after that, but the Sooner offense didn’t respond. On the next OU possession Mateer missed Kanak wide open over the middle on third down and the Sooners punted away.
    That’s when Auburn struck, with an 8-play, 60-yard drive capped by Arnold’s touchdown pass to Cam Coleman knotting the score at 10-10 with 1:08 left in the first half.
    The Sooners had a chance to punch back before intermission and looked like they might. Mateer hit Burks for a 38-yard gain up the seam but it was called back on offensive pass interference by Sategna.
    Thus, OU didn’t tack on a field goal before the break. It did, however, go up on a 32-yard field goal on its second possession of the third quarter.
