For a quarter and change, Mizzou’s defense overwhelmed the Sooners. Oklahoma ended the first quarter with negative seven yards. Then everything flipped.
At halftime, OU blasted Missy Elliott’s “Lose Control” through the stadium speakers. The timing was poetic — the Tigers lost control on offense after the music played. Mizzou suffered its third defeat in the past four games in its 17-6 defeat to the Oklahoma Sooners in a game where the Tigers went 3-of-15 in third-down situations.
