Oklahoma vs. Houston: Game Grades, Analysis for Sooners vs. Cougars

The No. 15 Houston Cougars scored 14 points in the third quarter, and a kick-six changed the momentum of the game as they took down the third-ranked Oklahoma Sooners, 33-23, on Saturday afternoon. Oklahoma kicker Austin Seibert missed a 53-yard field goal in the third quarter, and that paved the way for Houston's Brandon Wilson to take it 100 yards for a game-changing touchdown.

The total yards for both teams were pretty close, with 393 for Oklahoma and 410 for Houston, but the difference was time of possession and turnovers. Houston controlled the ball for 35 minutes, six seconds, compared to only 24:54 for Oklahoma, and the Sooners fumbled twice.
