It wasn't a pretty performance, especially on offense, from an Oklahoma team needing just one more win to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff, but as championship-quality teams do, the Sooners managed to find a way to win despite three costly turnovers.

Quarterback John Mateer threw three interceptions, tying his most in a game this season, but he also had touchdown throws of 45 and 58 yards to Deion Burks and Isaiah Satenga III, respectively, which proved to be enough for a 17-13 come-from-behind win over a struggling LSU team.

If you had reviewed the stat sheet after the game but not attended or watched the game on TV, you would have concluded that the Oklahoma offense had an excellent game.
