A walk-off field goal from 30 yards out by kicker Gabe Brkic helped the Oklahoma Sooners pull out a 16-13 win over the West Virginia Mountaineers Saturday night at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium. The thrilling finish in OU’s first Big 12 game of 2021 won’t brush away the mounting concerns over the team’s underwhelming start, however.
The OU defense played a spectacular game, limiting WVU to 3.9 yards per offensive play. The Eers went with the fashionable game plan against OU of milking the clock when they had possession. They ran 63 plays in 33:00, which works out to an average of more than 30 seconds per play.
