It wasn't pretty, and at times highly controversial, but Oklahoma managed just enough offense to outlast former Sooner Jackson Arnold and upset-minded Auburn 24-17 on Saturday in the SEC opener for both teams.
It was a game muddied in controversy and questionable officiating, and also marked the first time in 15 quarters, spanning the first four games, that Oklahoma had trailed in a game this season. When Auburn scored on a four-yard touchdown run with 7:08 remaining in the fourth quarter to take a 17-16 lead, it was the first time the Sooners had been behind this season.
