Oklahoma Sooners Football: Takeaways from the UTEP game

In the second quarter of the Oklahoma Sooners’ 45-13 win over the UTEP Miners last weekend, OU started its fourth possession of the game at its own 26 yard line with 14:06 left in the second quarter. Leading 21-3, the Sooners netted four yards on three plays before punting. UTEP then scored a touchdown to cut the lead to 21-10, and OU lost five yards on three plays during the ensuing possession before punting again.

Two drives, six plays, one lost yard, zero points and 96 seconds in time of possession. It all led up to the OU offense giving UTEP the ball back with about seven minutes left in the first half and a chance to slice what was once a 21-point deficit to four.
