With OU struggling in the running game, the Sooners turned to Brown during a key fourth-quarter drive. And the third-team running back delivered, carrying four times for 26 yards, capping the march with a 1-yard scoring run. He also caught a 12-yard pass to convert a critical third down.

While the Tigers offense put up some yards and points, the Sooner defense came through with key plays at critical times. The defense produced four turnovers, including a fumble returned for a touchdown. The Sooners bent, but never broke.

OU's conversion game was lacking. Garrett Hartley missed one extra point and had another blocked. And the Sooners, "chasing points” as Bob Stoops calls it, failed on a pair of two-point conversions.
