All Oklahoma's Auston English could think about after Saturday night's games were the two reverses Missouri ran past him for touchdowns. But the sophomore defensive end made his share of big plays, too. He made his presence known throughout the game in a variety of ways:

•Chasing the QB: Following OU's touchdown to tie the game at 7, English put Missouri in a hole with a first-down sack of quarterback Chase Daniel, his first of two sacks.
•Stopping the run: English was essentially waiting for Tiger running back Earl Goldsmith when he took a handoff early in the second quarter, driving Goldsmith into the ground for a four-yard loss.
•Pass coverage: With the Sooners up 35-24 in the fourth quarter, English slipped into pass coverage. He jumped to tip a pass by Daniel, which fell into the hands of safety Nic Harris at the Tiger 24 for the Sooners' third interception of the game. That set up OU's final TD.
