The Oklahoma Sooners’ 35-32 loss to the Florida State Seminoles in the Cheez-It Bowl on Thursday night felt familiar. It marked the fourth time in the 2022 season that the Sooners lost by a field goal and the fifth time they lost by one score. Once again, OU committed enough mistakes on the margins to fall short in a game it could have won.
However, the losing effort still showed the Sooners made strides during the break between the end of the regular season and the bowl game. We also got a preview of what the 2023 season might look like.
