The Oklahoma Sooners dominate the Missouri Tigers 17-6 on Saturday. Jay Smith of Locked On Sooners provides immediate postgame reaction to the win, discussing the Sooners' defensive performance, how the offense needs to improve, and the standout performances from the game. John Mateer made several big throws in the game but the inconsistency of the passing offense and the limitations in the running game are keeping Oklahoma from finding momentum offensively.

Texas fan here. Not a Texas troll. I was really hoping we could get a Texas/OU SEC Championship game to shut everyone up saying we couldn't compete against the big boys. you need a win against SC and Maine to get bowl eligible. I honestly don't see it though. SC is tough. your schedule is tough. best of luck.
